first aid/ cpr

[longbarrel]

Anyone know where a person can obtain an adult first aid/cpr cert? Checked local firestations/schools/businesses. Can do American red cross, but all I can find is about $110. My last two 12/11 and 11/09 were both ARC and were about $60. So, my thought is that either it went up a bunch in two years, or it can be had at a more affordable rate? Any ideas? Don't care who the cert is through.

You could check with a local EMS service. Our EMS in scott county offers a CPR course for real cheap.

We do American Heart Association CPR/AED including adult, child and infant for $65. If you want First Aid also, add another $15 for $80 total. Former medic, been teaching BLS for over 20 years.

ARC training nearly doubled in price about 2 years ago in all states. I would suggest contacting your local hospitals and asking them if they offer public courses or if they can refer you to an instructor that does. They tend to use American Heart. I have taught through several organizations over the years and American Heart is generally lower than others. I use to be able to offer it for $20 a person because the overhead is pretty low. We have an AHA instructor come in and teach where I work and they only charge $25 per staff member for CPR / FA / AED.

You can also find numerous courses offered online but I would not personally recommend any that don't include a hands-on practical portion.

I did the good-for-two-year Red Cross professional program. I do have to get it renewed. Before that it was the program "for the professional rescuer". The professional one is the one I preferred as it included AED training.

I've also been hearing good things about the AHA classes. I've not yet checked them out.
