BEFORE COMING TO CLASS
Before coming to class
To prepare yourself for class, you only need to bring your enthusiasm and eagerness to learn! There are no prerequisites or preconditions for learning CPR.
That said, there are two things to consider in order to maximize your experience:
· You need comfortable clothes
Please wear loose, comfortable clothing. You will be practicing skills that require working on your hands and knees, bending, standing, and lifting. If you have physical conditions that might prevent you from participating in the course, please tell one of the instructors when you arrive for class. Your instructor will work to accommodate your needs within the stated course completion requirements. If you are ill, please notify your instructor to reschedule your training.
· There will be a test
You will be asked to prove the skills you have learned in order to obtain your certification. But don’t worry! You will know exactly what to do.
Which class is the one for you?
You have a selection of classes to choose from. Determining which is good for you depends on two elements:
· Do you need certification for your job?
· Are you interested to learn for personal readiness?
If your job requires you to be trained in CPR, you should choose the course that is OSHA compliant for you.
If you are seeking to learn for your benefit and your family’s, it’s best to enroll in the most inclusive course, so that you will be in a position to deal with most, if not all, emergency situations you may encounter in daily life.
If you are in time constraints, consider the basic CPR course, which is only a few hours long and will still give you vital life-saving skills.
