Alison’s free online CPR training courses will guide you through the proper technique of resuscitation and prepare you for those potentially stressful scenarios.

Alison’s course, Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) guides you through cardiac crises. As common allergies such as peanuts and pollen can have severe reactions, we’d also recommend Anaphylaxis and Basic Life Support: Comprehensive Guide to help those who may not be aware of potentially life-threatening reactions that can occur.
