Choosing a CPR Instructor Package

CPR instructor packages bundle training equipment for classroom and group instruction. Depending on the package, you can equip a class with multiple manikins, AED trainers or a combination of both without purchasing each piece individually.

The most important considerations are your typical class size, the age groups you teach and whether students also need hands-on AED practice.

How Much Equipment Does Your Class Need?

Consider how many students need hands-on practice at the same time. Smaller classes may only require a few training stations, while larger groups can benefit from multi-packs that reduce waiting between practice sessions.

Your course provider or curriculum may also specify equipment ratios, so check those requirements before deciding how many manikins or AED trainers to purchase.

Manikin-Only Packs or CPR/AED Packages?

A manikin-only pack makes sense when you already own AED trainers and classroom supplies or simply need to increase the number of student practice stations.

A CPR/AED package combines manikins with non-shocking AED trainers so learners can practice the sequence of CPR, AED pad placement and simulated AED operation during the same class.

Need individual equipment instead? Browse CPR training manikins or AED trainers separately.

Supplies for a CPR Training Classroom

Training equipment also requires routine replacement and sanitation supplies. Depending on the manikins and trainers you use, consider keeping items such as replacement lungs or airways, face shields, AED training pads and cleaning supplies available between classes.

Always verify the manufacturer and model before ordering replacement parts or consumables.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do CPR instructor packages include AED trainers?

Some do and some do not. This category includes both manikin-only classroom packs and packages that combine CPR manikins with one or more AED trainers.

Do instructor packages include multiple age groups?

Some packages combine adult and infant or adult, child and infant training equipment, while others focus on a single patient age group. Check the package contents before ordering.

Should I buy a package or purchase equipment separately?

Packages are convenient when starting or expanding a classroom. Purchasing individual items may be better when you already own some equipment or need a very specific combination of manikins and AED trainers.

Can I expand my classroom later?

Yes. Additional manikins, AED trainers and replacement supplies can be added as your class size or course offerings grow.
