1. Many, many jobs require a certification in CPR. The only way to get this certification is to successfully complete a CPR training course. Positions that require training in CPR include, but are not limited to, lifeguards, camp counselors, doctors, coaches, and almost any job related to the healthcare field.
2. CPR training can be taught to almost anyone. It is not necessary to be applying for a job to receive CPR training; anyone who wants to can sign up for a class. New parents, babysitters, volunteers, and caregivers may not be required to have CPR certification; however, such people may greatly benefit from knowing CPR. With proper CPR training, anyone can save a life.
3. All CPR training courses are not the same. There are two major organizations through which certification can be obtained: Red Cross and the AHA (American Heart Association). Many jobs require a specific certification, so it is vital to verify which certification is required before signing up for a course. However, most CPR training courses will cover the necessary information for both certifications during the course. Regardless, it can’t hurt to check beforehand.
4. CPR training courses frequently take place in gyms or community centers. Many fitness centers, gyms, and YMCAs have weekend or night courses in CPR. Information will generally be posted on a bulletin board; otherwise, the front desk clerk will probably be able to explain when the next course will take place. A simple internet search for CPR training courses in your locale should return a list of upcoming courses. Resources such as americanheart.org and redcross.org may also list upcoming courses.
5. CPR training courses are short and inexpensive. They generally last just a few hours and cost around twenty dollars. During the course, an instructor will explain the importance of CPR and describe the different methods (CPR methods vary depending on the age and health of the injured person). Next, all the participants in the course will be required to demonstrate the techniques on dummies, generally with a partner. In order to receive certification, the instructor must verify that you are able to correctly perform CPR.
