Frequently asked questions
Do I need any medical background to take this class?
No. This class is designed for the general public: parents, teachers, coaches, caregivers, and workplace responders. Everything is taught in plain language, step by step.
Does this class cover both CPR and First Aid?
Yes. Core CPR, AED & First Aid combines CPR & AED with First Aid in one class, so you leave certified in all of it, no separate classes.
Do I have to finish the online part before my skill session?
Yes. The skill session is the hands-on practice and evaluation, so the online learning has to be done first.
Is this the right class for daycare or childcare licensing?
In most cases, yes. Childcare and youth programs typically require CPR/AED and First Aid certification, which is exactly what this class covers, including infant and child CPR. Check your specific licensing requirement to be sure.
Is CPR for kids and infants included?
Yes. You’ll practice CPR and choking relief for adults, children, and infants, important for parents, childcare staff, and coaches.
What if my employer just says “CPR and First Aid” training?
This class covers CPR/AED and First Aid together and is commonly accepted for general “CPR and First Aid” requirements. If your employer specifically requires “BLS,” book the BLS class instead.
Is this the same as BLS?
No. BLS is the provider-level course for healthcare workers. This class covers the same lifesaving basics (CPR, AED, choking relief, First Aid) for people who aren’t in clinical roles.
Certifying a daycare, gym, school, church, or workplace team?
We bring Core CPR, AED & First Aid training to your location, or host your group downtown.
