Why Take This Course

When sudden cardiac arrest strikes, every second counts. According to the American Heart Association, CPR performed immediately by a bystander can double or triple survival chances. Without action, brain death can begin just 4–6 minutes after arrest.

This DAN Basic Life Support course equips you with the confidence and skills to act in critical situations. The curriculum meets current ILCOR/AHA CPR & ECC guidelines (aligned with the 2020 international consensus), ensuring your training reflects the latest global standards in emergency care.
