CPR Questions

• Can I get in trouble for giving someone first aid or BLS? 

In North and South Carolina, state laws such as Good Samaritan laws are in place to protect lay people from liability when they volunteer their assistance in an emergency. There are many laws like this throughout the United States, and at the federal level, that protect people who volunteer first aid in emergencies.

• How long do classes last? 

Class times can vary due to class size and content of the course, but can vary between 2-6 hours. At Coastline CPR, we put in the time to make sure every learning style is catered to. Everyone learns differently, so our teaching styles are flexible and adaptable to help make sure everyone comes away from the class knowledgable in first aid.
