First Aid and CPR Classes

 

All Workplace First Aid (FA) and CPR classes offer certification with the successful completion of skills practice and a grade of 80% or better on a written examination. Breathing barriers and gloves are used during practice to develop good prevention skills. An introduction to OSHA blood-borne pathogen prevention is also part of each course. Re-cert classes offer a review of the information and skills and require a current CPR card to participate.
