Family & Friends CPR and First Aid


Recognized as the International Standard!

Family & Friends™ CPR Student Workbook (80-1027)Why get your CPR and first aid training materials from American Heart Association?
Because you want the best!

American Heart Association CPR and first aid materials are backed by extensive research and provide quality from beginning to end. They were developed by the same experts who wrote the International Guidelines for ECC, and are recognized today as the international standard.

Successful training calls for an effective format --

that's why Family & Friends courses are formatted as modular awareness programs that provide all the tools needed to teach rescue skills in CPR, relief of choking, and first aid -- skills that help ensure prompt, effective treatment for family members of all ages.

Student texts feature a revised content layout -- a proven communication method that:

  • provides faster, easier access to information
  • is more effective in helping students learn facts and concepts than standard text materials
  • provides a clear advantage for retrieving information from textual materials
  • reflects student focus groups' preferences for receiving information.

Instructor manuals feature lesson maps: Lessons presented in a color-coded "map" format that allows instructors to see objectives of the lessons, instructor and student roles, and other key information.

  • Greatly expanded agendas help ensure that all learning objectives get covered.
  • Printed on durable, tear-resistant paper that stands up to frequent use.

Instructor Manual Set includes specific information for all Family & Friends courses. This two-volume set is made up of the new Family & Friends CPR Instructor Manual and the new Heartsaver® Instructor Manual -- an improved, streamlined format that lets instructors purchase the balance of their course materials "a la carte" for best fit and economy.

Here are the very latest course materials -- incorporating the most up-to-date, science-based treatment recommendations from American Heart Association's 2005 Guidelines:
