However, AED training is still important when it comes to orientating yourself with the defibrillator and gaining confidence so that you’ll know what to do when a cardiac arrest emergency arises.


                                                                          It is St. John Ambulance's mission to get people HeartSET, so that you are equipped with the safety educations and tools to save a life wherever you go. When you purchase an AED from us, you can request an AED Orientation Session with your nearest branch location. We also offer comprehensive set of CPR and AED focused classes that can fit your budget and schedule.

                                                                          Why St. John Ambulance?
