03 CPR AED only vs CPR AED + First Aid vs full bundle with Stop the Bleed
| Option | Length | 10-person price | Per person | Certification | Trauma covered? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CPR AED only | 3 hr | $785 | $78.50 | AHA Heartsaver, 2 yr | No |
| CPR AED + First Aid (bundled) | 5 hr | $850 | $85.00 | HSI, 2 yr | Partial (basic bleeding control) |
| CPR AED + Stop the Bleed add-on | 4 hr | $985 | $98.50 | AHA Heartsaver + Bleeding Control card | Full tourniquet training |
| Full stack: CPR AED + First Aid + Stop the Bleed | 6 hr | $1,050 | $105 | Both | Full |
Decision rule: for an office or restaurant where cuts and burns are the common injuries, pick the $850 bundle. For a construction site, warehouse, or school where severe bleeding is the risk, add Stop the Bleed on top for $200.

04 Who needs this bundle
Any US workplace that needs OSHA first aid trained personnel on site AND whose injury profile goes beyond cardiac arrest. That is most workplaces outside a dedicated medical office. Specifically:
- Restaurants and food service. Knife cuts and fryer burns dominate the OSHA 300 log.
- Fitness centers and gyms. AED required by law in 36 states (AED laws); the First Aid half covers sprains and heat stroke on the floor.
- Schools and daycares. Head injuries, allergic reactions, seizures. 46 of 50 state boards accept HSI.
- Construction, manufacturing, warehouses. Cuts, burns, falls. OSHA 1926.50(c) requirement.
- Hotels, event venues, cruise ships. All of the above, at scale.
Save $335 by bundling vs separate classes
CPR AED + a standalone first aid class = $1,185 for 10. The bundle at $850 for 10 saves $335 and 1 instructor dispatch day.
05 Frequently asked questions
Does the HSI certification carry the same weight as AHA?
Yes for OSHA compliance and most state boards. HSI is one of the three ILCOR-aligned certifying bodies (AHA, ARC, HSI) that OSHA accepts. For specific healthcare roles (nursing, EMT) AHA BLS is preferred; for workplace first aid HSI is interchangeable.
Can we split the 5 hours across 2 days?
Yes but at a $150 added dispatch fee. Most groups prefer one 5-hour day because the certification is issued only after both modules pass.
Is this course accepted for state licensure (teachers, childcare)?
Accepted in 46 of 50 state education boards and 44 of 50 childcare licensing boards as of Oct 2026. Exceptions require AHA specifically: Texas Education Agency, Florida Department of Health childcare, Illinois Department of Public Health, Massachusetts EEC.
What about an AED for the office? The class trains for one but is it included?
Not included. The class trains on an AED trainer. For an actual AED, see best AED 2026. The Philips HeartStart OnSite recertified at $875 is our top value pick.
How much does CPR AED and First Aid training cost in 2026?
$850 for 10 people, $1,882 for 25 at AED Leader. That is $75 to $85 per person for the 5 hour bundle.
