What should I wear?

The class involves hands-on practice so it is best if you wear comfortable clothes that you can move around in. You will be on the floor and bending a lot during practice. If you have long hair it is best to wear it back.
What is the difference between BLS and CPR?

BLS or Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers is for anyone in the medical field (i.e. CNA, Dental Assistant, First Responder, RN, EMT, etc.) CPR/AED are for the layperson, or anyone in the community.
What is the minimum age for CPR, First Aid, or AED certification?"

If a student can understand the information and pass the skills testing, then a certification card can be issued as early as age 10.
Am I obligated to perform CPR if I'm certifed?

Most professional rescuers have a duty to act where they are work assigned. When off-duty, response by the same people would be considered a “Good Samaritan” act. If you are taking CPR/First Aid/AED at the basic level for personal enrichment purposes, you must make the decision whether to help or to decline assistance to a victim.
I have back and knee problems or some other issue that prevents me from getting down on the floor. Can I attend the training?

Most likely. Please let us know at the time you enroll in a class of any special needs or concerns you may have. At that time, we can discuss alternative teaching methods, and hopefully be able to meet your needs.
I have an injury or disability and cannot perform all the skills. Can I be certified?

No. CPR/AED and First Aid certification requires that students pass a skills exam. Students who cannot perform the skills are not issued certification cards. However, a person with a disability can perform many of the skills as well as guide another rescuer through the steps. Even though a person may not be able to complete the certification requirements, the training is still highly valuable.
