Frequently asked questions about CPR

How much does CPR cost?

CPR is $125 and runs 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. It covers CPR and AED use with First Aid, taught hands-on rather than by video.

Who should take CPR?

Lifeguards, coaches, camp and childcare staff, teachers, and healthcare providers. Professional rescuer CPR requires a hands-on skills check, which an online-only card does not include.

How long is CPR valid for?

Two years, the same window as lifeguarding, so the two renew together conveniently.
