My husband and I need to get CPR and first aid training. I'm having a hard time finding a class that we can attend. Does anyone know of someone that teaches or a company that can do a private class? I could even get a couple more people to join us if we need to.

So What Happened?

I asked a friend that works at a hospital and she works with a nurse that teaches cpr for a non profit organization and she is going to train us for free.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Try contacting a local fire department. Many firefighters and paramedics are certified to teach and you may be able to find someone willing to do a private class.

KD,
The best places to find those classes are at the hospitals in your area. The have them for adults and even your 11 year old could take them. Just call and ask to speak to someone in the education department. Good luck!

I highly recommend the American Red Cross. Make sure you choose the class that includes the child CPR if you're wanting to cover your child emergencies. The Red Cross is the best and most reputable for the public.

Family and Friends CPR Anytime kit is only $30, which includes a 22 min. DVD and inflatable CPR dummy. American Heart Association has this available and can be ordered by phone 1-877-AHA-4CPR.

This is great, because you can always have it in your home and the kids can learn along with both of you.

Blessings,

My dughter teaches. She says that it depends on what you want, as to how much the course is. If you want everything, adult & child cpr and first aid, it is usually $60 per person. This includes a book and DVD.
If you have any questions about it, or want to talk to her about it, her name and number is Annika at ###-###-####.

We do our CPR/First Aid training through Mobile Test. They came out to us, but you have to have at least 5 people. The cost is $25 per person, and your cards are through the American Heart Association. You can talk to Robert Coburn at ###-###-#### to set something up. They do offer some Saturday classes at their facility if you can't get 5 people together.

I just took a CPR/First Aid class last week from Cindy Lewis at Heartbeat. She is a R.N. and was very, very good. The class was at the Girl Scout building off of Campbell and Preston in Plano. Her number is ###-###-#### and her website is www.heartbeatcpr.net and her website shows the class schedule.

Last time I took the class from Jay and Lynn Abrams at Save A Life in Carrollton. I was also very impressed with them, and was actually trying to find their new number (as it had changed since I took the class two years ago) but found it after I had already signed up with Cindy. Their number is ###-###-####.

I also found out that you can go to the American Heart Association website (www.americanheart.org), click on "CPR & ECC" on the left of the screen, type in your zip code, and then click on what type of CPR you need (Friends & Family or Heartsaver (for childcare & healthcare workers.) This will bring up a list of organizations that teach the Heartsaver CPR/First aid classes nearest you, and have their contact info.

I hope all that helps!
