First aid/CPR training must be received from an organization approved by the department. CPR and first aid training may be completed online. If CPR and first aid training is completed online, an in-person skills test must also be completed for the training to be valid. In-person skills tests must be done face-to-face. They cannot be done via webcam or with a digital mannequin. The in-person skills test must be administered by one of the approved organizations.
Many of the approved organizations offer several different types of CPR and first aid training (for the general community, the workplace, health care/emergency response professionals).
