Receive e-mail reminders for scheduled refresher training. Regular practice gives you confidence and improves skills retention. (Available with the online version only.)

Flexible options
Easily adapts to your protocols with over twenty protocol and AED options. The program has a full set of administration features that allows you to add users, monitor performance and select options.
