CPR for Lay Responders

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is one of the most important life-saving skills a person can learn. When cardiac arrest occurs, immediate bystander CPR can double or even triple a victim’s chance of survival. This course is designed to give everyday individuals the knowledge and confidence to act quickly in an emergency.
The AffordableACLS CPR Course was created and is taught by practicing, board-certified emergency physicians with more than 20 years of real-world clinical experience. Every lesson is based on current American Heart Association (AHA) and International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) guidelines, ensuring that the information reflects modern, evidence-based resuscitation practices used in emergency departments and prehospital care.
This course is specifically designed for lay responders—people without medical training who want to be prepared to help a family member, coworker, or stranger experiencing cardiac arrest. The material focuses on clear explanations, practical steps, and the key actions that make the greatest difference in survival.
