First aid certification companies? - 05/16/07 04:40 AM
I just finished taking a SCUBA class at school, and have become a Padi certified open water diver. Now that the Scuba class has ended I still have a month of school left. To occupy the gap in my schedual, the Scuba instructor is offering an optional First Aid / CPR / AED class. However, the class he is teaching is not Red Cross but "emergency first response"
I am already CPR / First Aid / Lifeguard certified through Red Cross, but my certs are soon to expire. I still remember most (if not all of my training) so the reason I would take any additional first aid classes would be for the re-certification. I don't need certs for work anymore, and the only time I would ever use the cert would be to help a family member, friend, or some stranger in need of aid
I am not familiar with "emergency first response." In the real world is their certification worth anything? The reason I ask is because the class is not free.
Oh yeah, here is a link to their site http://www.emergencyfirstresponse.com/
Thanks, Rio
