Who is eligible to take CPR training?

• A. Anybody
• B. Business office personnel only
• C. Teachers and students only
• D. Emergency rescue workers and medical personnel only

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that CPR training is open to anyone who wants to learn it. There aren’t universal prerequisites that restrict training to a specific group, because the goal is to equip as many people as possible to act in an emergency. Courses are designed for the general public, so teachers, students, office staff, parents, community members—really anyone—can enroll. This universal accessibility helps increase the chances a trained person will be nearby to provide life-saving chest compressions and use an AED if needed.

The other options are too narrow. While professionals certainly can take CPR training, it isn’t limited to them; it’s also appropriate for broad groups of non-professionals who may be present in schools, workplaces, or at home.
