The Family YMCA is taking registration for its May 5 and June 2 First Aid, Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) certification courses. The courses, taught by American Red Cross certified instructors, are generally scheduled for the first Saturday of each month throughout the year.
First Aid training includes the basics of wound care, bleeding control and bandaging and provides information about poisoning, sudden illness, and how to care for other injuries.
CPR training includes how to respond to emergency situations, recognize the signs of a heart attack and provide care for an adult who stops breathing, is choking or whose heart stops beating.
AED training is a proven life-saving tool when deployed correctly and early on after the onset of cardiac arrest.
Participants who complete the courses will receive American Red Cross certification. There is a maximum of 12 participants for each class.
Classes are from 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Saturdays and are open to the public. The cost is $80 for Y members and $110 for program members. The certificates are now good for two years.
