Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a minimum age for certifications?
There is no minimum age; however, all requirements must be met in order to pass and receive certification.
What does each course cost?
There are various factors in pricing such as which course, the type of course (Classroom, Online, Blended), the size of the group (1 vs 10 vs 100), combinations of classes (such as taking first aid with CPR vs separate), travel considerations (excessive mileage and hotel costs). This is best determined by contacting us directly and having the open conversation to discuss options.
How long is the certification valid?
Each certification is valid for 2 years and then needs to be renewed. The only course that has a 1 year certification period is Bloodborne Pathogens.

What is hands-only CPR?
Hands-only or compression only CPR is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths. It is recommended for use by bystanders who see an adult suddenly collapse in an “out-of-hospital” setting (such as at home, at work or in a park). It is taught in all CPR classes as an option when there are no barrier devices available to the rescuer versus not providing any emergency help.
