resuscitation (CPR) from the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross or
other institution approved by the department.

Agencies may also seek opportunities to have a staff person trained as First Aid Instructors; agencies
who choose to use a trained staff person will need to verify that the training gives the staff person
the ability to certify others in first aid. See https://www.redcross.org/take-a-class/first-aid for
options. Certification from other in-person training organizations may also be acceptable if they
meet American Heart Association or American Red Cross guidelines and provide a certification card.
Rev. 2/12/2024
Online First Aid and CPR course should consist of training, a proficiency test and provision of
certification. If you are unsure if an on-line and or in person CPR/First Aid source is acceptable, please
check with your DCWL consultant.
Please note that most on-line classes charge a nominal fee for certification.
