Hey- Chicago People!!!

[kittenspeaks]

I really want to renew my CPR/ First Aid Certification. Actually it has been so long since I have done it I may as well treat it like I am doing it for the first time.
Anyway, I have looked around and there are lots of places and different kinds of classes and all that jazz.
Frankly, I can't afford it. But, it is important to me.
Most places offer deals for groups. So, I ask....
Would any of you be interested in doing a First Aid/ CPR certification course if I organize it? I would love to do adult and Child/ Infant. (Since I really want to expand my Domestic Assistance repertoire and that would be a great certification to have.)
Generally it looks like it is going to cost in the ball park of 50.00 for this. Some places are as high as 200, some as low as 30.
And if anyone else has any suggestions of where to go and take classes I am open to suggestions.

So- Who wants to get certified to be helpful?

I know what you mean my First Responder and my Pro. CPR certs have run out.
Sadly it is a bit far for me to come for classes.

Contact the local Girl Scout council, they offer Children & adult CPR & first aid for $25 via Red Cross.

Also check with the hospitals. I think I paid $15 for my infant CPR at a local hospital.

and its the right price as well

I saw that listing before. Sadly, it is kind of a lie. When you cell them they give you price quotes. So, it isn't free.
And they only do CPR, not first aid. :-(
