DPS offers training in Adult First Aid/CPR/AED through the American Heart Association by request only.  These sessions are hybrid, including an online portion and an in-person skills evaluation.  All in-person sessions are held Monday-Friday at the DPS training office.

To schedule a session for your UH Mānoa student, faculty, or staff group, please read the information below:

Number of participants:  Due to the American Heart Association’s requirements to maintain a strict student to instructor ratio, a maximum of 12 participants is allowed for the in-person portion of this training.  If you have a larger group, you may have to schedule multiple sessions to accommodate all participants.

Course Format:  This is a hybrid course with two parts. Please note that this course does not cover First Aid/CPR/AED for infant and child. This class is not eligible for credit towards any degree or program, and will not substitute a credit-earning class.

  • Part 1 (Self-paced online course): Participants are given access to the American Heart Association’s training content, which is an interactive course that will teach the necessary skills in first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and Automated External Defibrillator (AED). Please allow up to four hours (on your own) to complete this portion.
