Class Times - How long to teach each class

Scheduling time to teach a class.  

If you are teaching BLS with First Aid, yes, it will probably go 8 hours. If you are only teaching BLS/CPR/AED, then the class should be completed in about 5-hours. The first aid portion of all of the courses adds about 2.5 -3 hours to the normal CPR course. Below is a good breakdown of how long these classes usually run in a classroom setting with each student on their manikin (1:1 ratio): 

• BLS course - 5 hours
• BLS + First Aid - 8 hours
• CPR for All ages - 3.5 hours
• CPR + First Aid for all ages - 6.5 hours
• Adult CPR - 2 hours
• Adult CPR + First Aid - 4 hours

Note that there are also student-to-instructor ratios to be cautious of as well. Click here to find out more.
