CPR & First Aid

CPR and First Aid for Families and Friends

This course is designed for adults and young adults who want to learn CPR and first aid. The course is taught by Nil, who is certified by the American Heart Association in CPR instruction and by the American Safety and Health Institute. In this course, adults, including parents, grandparents, adult babysitters and nannies, learn and practice CPR for infants, children, and adults. Participants also learn how to help an infant, child or adult who is choking and are given information on essential first aid skills. 

This course does not offer certification as it does not have a skills test or written exam.  However, the course is valid for two years.  A textbook is provided at the time of the class.

The course lasts two and a half hours and is offered every three to four weeks. Please call Nil at extension 1231 to register or to ask any questions. The cost of the course is $50.00. Teenagers interested in being certified in CPR and learning child safety should take our Babysitter's Safety Course.
