CPR & AED Training
As most of you know, Averett received a grant that has allowed more AED’s to be placed around campus and to allow our Averett family to receive training and certification. To have our staff prepared, there will be Heart Saver classes provided at the Danville Area Training Center. The classes will include Adult CPR, AED and Adult Choking. These classes are just for Averett employees, and the cost are covered by the grant. Once completed, you will receive a certificate of completion and knowledge that could potentially save someone’s life. All you need to do is show up and be prepared to learn valuable knowledge/skills.
