First Aid, CPR and AED

I signed up for a Red Cross first aid, cpr, and aed course. The whole course is 8 hours. Does anybody know if those 8 hours include taking the certification tests? or will i...

Okay, sounds sketch, but I swear I'm certified. I need to show my cpr card for a personal trainer test and I can't find it. I would reschedule but they are being nazi's about...

You might try asking one of the EMTs at your local fire station what the requirements are in your state/province/area of the world. I do know that in some parts of the United States local community colleges offer EMT training, but this might not...

No, it isn't hard. The part they're referring to as "physically demanding" is probably doing the chest compressions. Either the instructor will show you, step by step, what you're supposed to do in an emergency situation, or you'll...
