If you've been wanting to learn CPR but haven't found the time or money to do so, the City of Chanhassen has a deal that's hard to pass up. Their Fire Department is offering free Hands-Only CPR classes this coming fall. These non-certification courses are designed to teach you the crucial skills of CPR and AED usage—knowledge that could potentially save a life.

The City of Chanhassen has made it their mission to ensure that these lifesaving techniques are widely accessible. Announced via a social media post, the classes are open to anyone aged 12 and older, aiming to directly equip the community with skills that could quickly turn any bystander into a first responder. To potentially incentivize more to sign up, there are no costs associated with the training.

"Learn life-saving skills in our upcoming fall Hands-Only CPR classes. Our free non-certification courses cover both CPR and AED training & are open to everyone aged 12+," read the post from the City of Chanhassen, Minnesota Government. If you're interested in taking part, it's clear—registering is as easy as going to chanhassen.info/cpr.

The class on offer is scheduled to be held at the Chanhassen Fire Department on March 19 from 6:30 to 7:30 PM. For those considering joining, this one-hour class might well be one of the most important lessons they ever learn. As someone might never know when they'll be called upon to use CPR or an automated external defibrillator, it’s fundamental for as many people as possible to possess this knowledge.
