Periodic, online refreshers

Documented performance
AED Challenge stores your test scores for documented performance. The program advises you when you make a mistake. You can print test results and automatically email them to your organization’s AED coordinator. An administator can also view online performance reports for an individual, a department or entire organization.
Realistic scenarios
AED Challenge uses interactive, realistic cardiac arrest scenarios. Contrast this to other online programs that offer only text and pictures and ask rote multiple-choice questions. Doing…not reading…is how users best remember AED and CPR steps.
E-mail reminders
Receive e-mail reminders for scheduled refresher training. Regular practice gives you confidence and improves skills retention.
Flexible options
Easily adapts to your protocols with a variety of AED and protocol options. The program has a full set of administration features that allows you to add users, monitor performance and select options.
