Manchester FA are proud to launch free, online CPR training in partnership with The British Heart Foundation through RevivR.

In just 15 minutes you could learn CPR using our interactive tool, a cushion and your mobile phone or a tablet. Many of us will witness a cardiac arrest in our lifetime. Be ready for that day. Learn how to save a life with RevivR, our fast, free and easy-to-use online training course.

CPR is an emergency lifesaving procedure, performed when the heart stops beating. Each year over 30,000 people have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the UK, with less than one in ten surviving - giving CPR and using a defibrillator can more than double someone’s chance of survival.

Kathryn Smith, Football Development Manager at Manchester FA:

“CPR training gives you the skills, the confidence, and the empowerment to make the right decisions and act quickly in the event of a cardiac emergency. Our partnership with the British Heart Foundation has enabled us to provide a fast and free training service which will equip our grassroots community with the key information needed o help save lives. We are delighted to be able to offer our easily accessible QR code which will take you straight to the training. The CPR training adds into the launch of our recent Heart Safe campaign, in which Manchester FA have created a charter to help look after the health and wellbeing of our local football communities." 

The initiative will raise awareness of the importance of ensuring as many people within local football clubs are trained in basic CPR and first aid in the event an emergency as well as the education of maintaining a defibrillator and gaining public access to it.”
