AED training

According to Washington state law, AED owners should ensure that reasonable AED and CPR training is provided to expected users of their device. Even if you don’t own an AED, learning how to provide CPR and use an AED helps everyone.

There are many resources for CPR and AED training in the community, including local fire departments, non-profit organizations, and private businesses. A quick internet search will provide a broad selection of resources in King County. Courses vary in course content, certification levels and price, providing many options for all levels of CPR/AED training needs.

When developing an AED and CPR training plan, organizations and companies should consider:

  • Who in my organization should receive training?
  • What level of training is necessary for the expected AED user at my location?
  • What resources are available to help us meet and support our training needs and ongoing CPR/AED educational goals?

If you have further questions about developing an AED/CPR training plan for your AED users, contact the CPR/PAD Program Manager at 206-477-8664 or laura.miccile@kingcounty.gov
