Course Requirements

• No medical conditions (specifically heart and/or lung) or physical disabilities/injuries that would prevent the participant from performing CPR

Declaration of Medical Conditions if any

Participants must perform 2 minutes of nonstop chest compressions as part of course assessment requirements, which can be physically demanding.

It is advised to refrain from participating in this course if you:

• Have medical ailments such as back pain, knee, joint, or spinal injuries, heart problems, high blood pressure, fainting spells, other physical conditions, other medical disabilities, or if serious diseases are present or have ever been a source of discomfort; or
• Are pregnant.

If you decide to continue with the course in spite of prevailing medical conditions, please obtain your doctor’s approval and provide us with a doctor’s letter stating your clearance to participate. Failure to be assessed and subsequently pass the practical component will cause you to fail the course. You will not be certified in BCLS + AED; you will only be issued with a certificate of attendance.
