While traditional classroom offerings are available in both SW Washington and Portland, you can now take courses online with a brief appointment to demonstrate the physical skills. This gives everyone with an internet connection an easy way to get trained.
DAY 13 ACTIVITY: Today, you can earn points in 3 ways.
- You'll receive a +1 if you have ever taken a First Aid/CPR course (even if you are currently expired).
- If your card is active (not expired) or you commit to updating your First Aid/CPR card, you'll receive 2 additional points.
- If you can convince 8 or more of your friends, family, employees, neighbors or office mates to get trained (meaning that you schedule an "organizational" training with the Red Cross, you'll receive 3 additional points (for a total of 6 points). For the highest level of points, you only need to schedule the class in September, the actual class itself may occur later in the year.

I have an updated CPR/First Aid card. I will be unable to convince my families/friends and co-workers to sign up for a class because the only 2 people I know that don't have the card are old stubborn people that refuse to do it :)
I am a Certified Instructor for CPR, First Aid, and AED.
I teach classes through Emergency First Response. EFR is approved by the AHA, and ILCORE based training, approved by the USGC, and accepted Merchant Mariner Training.
Yes, I have taken the Red Cross First Aid/CPR course but my card is expired so I am thinking I better get in and renew it!
Oh the joy I have in sharing what I do with my friends, family, colleagues and strangers. I think anyone at CRESA would agree about the level of compassion I have. I do have all of my medical certificates and take a refresher every year. I will even go for the extra credit points as I will be teaching an emergency preparedness course and get ready for winter/flooding evening at church. It's going to be awesome. CPR is part of event, but not taught by me. I have always wanted to get my CPR instructor certification, but time has always been a challenge, especially with all the NIMS classes I have to do. Oh yah.. don't forget your NIIMSCAST report!
