The president and CEO of THOR Executive Security Teams, George Manos provides tactical high-risk operational resources to military forces. As a certified instructor for the American Red Cross, George Manos also teaches CPR and AED courses for the organization.
The American Red Cross offers AED (automated external defibrillator) and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) certification through a variety of educational opportunities. Those interested can take simulated classes, participate online, or have the full classroom experience. Additionally, certified personnel can continue their education with online refresher courses.
CPR courses from the Red Cross require several hours of time to complete sufficient training to receive certification. Skills gained will prepare participants to handle breathing and cardiac emergencies in adults and children.
The Red Cross’ AED training courses teach participants how to use an automated external defibrillator in case of emergency, as well as when it is necessary to do so. This training also requires a time commitment of several hours to reach certification.
Both courses provide training that can save lives. For more information, visit www.redcross.org.
