Please bring your own lunch, snacks and drinks that you require.
The class will end approximately at 4:00 PM.
A parent or guardian is welcome to stay during the class to accompany you.
Dress Attire
CPR training is fun, hands-on, and physical activity! You will be kneeling on the floor, bending over mannequins, and practicing active chest compressions. Because of the physical exertion, the classroom can get a bit warm. To ensure you are comfortable and able to participate fully, please keep the following guidelines in mind:
Comfort is key: Wear clothes you can easily move, bend, and kneel in. The training room can get quite warm during practice! So dressing in layers is recommended.
Appropriate coverage: Please choose clothes that provide full coverage while bending forward (avoid midriff-baring, crop tops, low-cut shirts and low rise jeans).
Bring a hair tie or band to keep hair out of your face during compressions. (We have extras on hand if you need one!)
