CPR Training Center In Knoxville, Tennessee
Many people believe CPR is nothing more than repeating the chest compressions you see on TV. But, in reality, doing it right takes learning and training — which is precisely what you’ll get at Vitali. Our local AHA training center provides professional and engaging CPR and first aid training in Knoxville, TN.
Why Train at an AHA CPR Training Center?
The AHA (The American Heart Association) is an internationally recognized institution of top-notch CPR training. The AHA is a critical player in developing the quality standards for CPR training centers — which is why learning at an AHA training center is the most surefire way of properly learning CPR.
Today, online learning opportunities have become widely available for a wide variety of fields and practices — more than ever, knowing where to get CPR certified legitimately is essential. Places like Khan Academy and Coursera offer online first aid courses, and you’ll find plenty of providers touting “hassle-free CPR certification.” These places ensure you that learning CPR doesn’t require any hands-on training — which is simply not true, at least not if you want to learn it correctly. Furthermore, their training does not meet state and licensing requirements that require hands on practice.
The AHA training courses focus on giving you adequate instruction alongside practice and skills testing. CPR is a physical skill — and you’ll need physical practice before you master it. You wouldn’t want a hair stylist with only online training, or a surgeon with only online instruction or practice suturing on training equipment substitutes. For those skills we recognize that hands on training is necessary.
In the same way, CPR training requires hands on skill practice with the proper equipment. The American Heart Association requires that every student practice with basic equipment such as CPR manikins with feedback devices, ventilation masks, and training AED’s.
