This training is for WFA participants who also need CPR training before their selected WFA Skills Demonstration. Adult CPR/AED training must be complete prior to attending the Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course. There are two options to ensure you can complete this training prior to your WFA class. If you are current on CPR/AED training, please email jeannerose3456@gmail.com with a copy of your current certificate.

Option 1: Obtain training through an accredited agency like American Red Cross or American Heart Association (or ask if through another agency) on your own. Send completed training certificate to jeannerose3456@gmail.com.

Option 2: Bundle the CPR/AED portion with the WFA training. You must complete the online Interactive CPR/AED training prior to your CPR/AED in-person Skills Demonstration class.
