First Aid & CPR
We can never predict when or where an emergency might occur. CPR and First Aid certification is a simple step that can help protect you and your family. These courses teach students critical skills needed to respond in the first few minutes until emergency medical services (EMS) arrives. Upon successful completion of the course, students receive a course completion card valid for 2 years through the American Safety & Health Institute (ASHI).
