The one-hour and 15 minute training sessions are open to teenagers and adults who are interested in learning to help save lives. Participants can learn hands-only CPR, which teaches chest compressions without mouth-to-mouth breaths, as well as the use of an AED.
We limit class size to 25; registrations are required.
An AED, or Automated External Defibrillator, is a portable electronic device that automatically detects disturbances in the rhythm of a heartbeat and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm.
Registrants with COVID symptoms should cancel their registrations

FAQs
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
This training does not include treatment of infants and children under 55 pounds. For infants you need to take a full first aid class. Participants in our training should be 8th grade and up. Younger kids often lack the strength to work effectively with the manikins
What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?
Free parking outside of Plymouth City Hall. The Public Safety Building, which is connected to City Hall, houses the Plymouth Fire Department administrative offices and the Plymouth Police Department. Entrance is to the left of the main entrance of Plymouth City Hall. Meeting Room B on the second floor.
How can I contact the organizer with any questions?
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?
No
Can I update my registration information?
Do you issue an American Heart Association card upon completion?
This training is called Adult Bystander CPR/AED training. Although this is an AHA approved course, no AHA cards will be issued. Our Rotary does issue a card and similar to AHA, we recommend retraining at least every two years. We teach everything the HeartSaver course teaches except providing Emergency Breaths. We teach Hands Only/Compression CPR. It does not qualify for health care providers recertification.
