• What's it like?

    Despite the serious topic, the experience is fun, energetic and a little bit competitive. Expect your teams to be cheering each other on and trying to win by saving a life!

  • How long is it?

    Participants can experience a CardiacCrash session in about 60 minutes. This includes the introduction, the interactive film, time for group disucssion, and wrap-up.

  • Do participants get a CPR credential?

    This is an awareness program. Each participant will be able to sign up to receive a CrashCard to show their participation in CardiacCrash. For other Heart & Stroke CPR programs that provide a credential visit our Resuscitation Portal.


  • Is it a lot of work?

    As a facilitator, you will require time for pre-experience and post experience activities. The amount of time required for those activities will depend on several factors including processes and supports at each location, the physical room layout and the CPR equipment being utilized. We've provided checklists and tools to help you prepare, plan and deliver the program.
