Default A good place to learn CPR?

I have been wanting to learn CPR for quite some time. I would hate to have a situation where I might need it one day and out of laziness not have learned it so I want to take a course.

Any suggestions?

At my workplace, we did a course hosted through MRU that was pretty good. They came to our office, but they also host classes on Mount Royal's campus. It is a two-day, full first aid course. One day pretty much on CPR, the other on general first aid.

St. John Ambulance pretty much has this market segment on lockdown. Definitely the best at it.

St. John Ambulance. I took two courses there and they both had great instructors.

I've done both St John and Red Cross over the years and both are good, it really just depends on the instructor and how enjoyable they make it.

Always been through Red Cross for me when I was a lifeguard in high school and university. Or the Lifesaving Society. Can't remember.

But it's a fantastic idea to get certified!

I believe that shut up. Johns ambulance provides this course.

I'd recommend calling them.
