There are three levels for CPR and AED training. Level A and C are for first time trainees while HCP is for health care providers or professionals. All levels include CPR and AED training for adult victims. AEDs are machines able to detect heart rhythms and apply needed shock to restart the heart.

If you see a person faint:
- Do a scene survey by checking for hazards.
- Have a bystander call for medical help as soon as you recognize the unresponsiveness of the victim.
- Do a secondary survey if necessary and provide CPR and first aid if applicable.
- Turn the patient into the recovery position if injuries allow you to do so.
- Loosen any tight fighting clothing around the neck, chest, and waist to allow for a good supply of fresh air.
- Treat for shock and keep the victim as comfortable as possible until he or she returns to consciousness.
- When the victim returns to consciousness, keep them lying down for 10 to 15 minutes if possible.
