How Do You Get Certified In First Aid & CPR?
Emergency responders aren’t the only segment of the population that can benefit from training and certification in first aid and CPR. Among those who may be required to be certified in first aid and CPR are athletic trainers and health-care workers. Babysitters, those caring for the elderly and those with infant children can also benefit from training. First aid and CPR certification will ensure that you can perform basic first aid, such as treating wounds and recognizing emergency situations, and be able to perform CPR should an emergency arise. Contact a local American Red Cross or American Heart Association chapter. The American Red Cross website provides a Zip code driven search to locate chapters in your area. The American Red Cross offers classes for certification in first aid and CPR. The American Heart Association, or AHA, website allows visitors to search for AHA sponsored CPR classes and local first aid certification opportunities. Determine the appropriate level of training
