Training Day!

Today it was time to get my recertification for CPD/AED and First Aid. Good times…

I did my first CPR certification back in 1982 or so, and have been through more of the classes than I can count, as the certification expires every two years. And in spite of having been trained over and over and over again, I’ve been fortunate in that I’ve never had to put these skills to the test. Well, I’ve done first aid about a thousand times, but fortunately have never (knock on wood!) had to administer CPR or use an AED machine on anyone in duress.

Nonetheless, it’s a good idea to brush up on these skills if you’re rusty. If you’ve never been trained in First Aid or CPR, what are you waiting for?

The entire course was just shy of four hours. Just about anyone can find four hours to make themselves a more prepared and useful citizen…

Who knows, you may save a life some day…

Thanks for stopping by!
