This course is for those whose CPR credentials are still valid but near expiration. The CPR recertification training will allow one to refresh their memory and revisit some of the skills learned in the CPR certification course. This will also allow one to learn about any new techniques that have been developed since their original certification. The recertification course is a blended learning course that will consist of both online (2 hours) and in-person hands-on (2 hours) training. The online portion must be completed prior to attending the in-person hands-on training. Once complete the online and the in-person portions are complete one will be able to maintain certification for an additional two years.

Please call to schedule

COST: $35
