Frequently Asked Questions
What if I can't perform compressions?
In order to perform CPR, you must be able to kneel and have the physical strength to compress the chest at least 2 inches. If you are unable to perform these tasks, you can still play a vital role by learning how to effectively instruct another person to provide chest compressions.

How do I find when a class is available?
Contact OBXCPR to schedule training for 1–10 people at your preferred location—home, business, church, community center, or office. Classes are also held most months at Virginia Tillet and Baum Community Centers; check their newsletters for dates and times.
Are classes offered to schools?
