Community CPR Certification
The American Red Cross Community CPR / AED course provides participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to sustain life and minimize the consequences of injury or sudden illness until advanced medical help arrives. Upon successful completion of this course, participants will hold an adult, infant, child CPR/AED certification valid for two years.
The cost of the course is $60. Skills acquired in this course cannot be applied to a lifeguarding certification as this course certifies participants in rescue skills for lay responders not professional rescuers.
This course will be offered on the third Thursday of each month on the following dates. All classes are held at the Greystone branch and will begin at 5pm. Classes typically run 4hrs long and will end around 9pm.
