CPR, First Aid, AED, and BLS Courses at Lafene Health Center

Lafene Health Center offers CPR/First Aid, and BLS courses through American Heart Association using the Blended Learning format. Blended learning is a combination of eLearning, in which a student completes part of the course in a self-directed manner online, followed by a hands-on session. The hands-on session is completed in person with an AHA instructor at Lafene Health Center. Courses are available to K-State students, faculty/staff, and the public.

Due to instructor availability, only a limited number of CPR courses will be offered this summer.
