CPR / AED / BLS
CPR – AED – BLS Certification in New Jersey
In emergencies, quick and confident action can save lives. Being certified in CPR
(Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), AED (Automated External Defibrillator), and BLS
(Basic Life Support) gives you the tools to respond effectively—whether you're a healthcare
professional or a prepared community member.
At ACE Healthcare Training Institute (ACEHTI), our AHA-compliant CPR–AED–BLS
training helps you acquire critical life-saving skills with hands-on practice, empowering you to
step in when every second counts.
Why CPR–AED–BLS Training Matters
-
CPR maintains vital blood flow to the brain and organs until advanced help arrives.
-
AED usage can restart a heart in sudden cardiac arrest via electric shock.
-
BLS expands critical response techniques beyond CPR, including multi-rescuer
coordination and rescuer safety.
The American Heart Association reports that out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates
nearly double or triple when bystanders perform CPR immediately.

Under AHA standards, the course teaches you to:
1. Perform CPR on adults, children, and infants (single- and two-rescuer techniques)
2. Use an AED safely and accurately
3. Recognize cardiac arrest and respiratory emergencies
4. Provide rescue breathing and choking relief for all age groups
5. Coordinate with other rescuers during emergencies
