Well that depends... There are some jobs that require you to be certified in CPR. You do not need to be certified to perform CPR. If there is not a certified rescuer in the immediate vicinity, you may perform CPR. 911 operators now instruct callers on how to perform a rough version of CPR. If you do find yourself in a situation where someone needs resuscitation, call for help quickly. Call 911 and begin CPR. Check the Good Samaritan Laws in your area.

∙ 13y agoYou should be certified to do CPR on someone. You are required to know what you are doing to help a person who is not breathing. If you are interested in getting certified, you should take some classes. Perhaps contact your doctor. Some schools though, teach CPR in middle school health class and you can get certified. But you do have to get the certification renewed every few years; unless of course you are in the medical profession I think.
