First Aid Update Clinic Reminder

All Lifesaving Instructors and First Aid Instructors MUST attend a First Aid Update Clinic. You may not teach the new standards until you have done so. During a First Aid Update Clinic instructors learn the rationale behind CPR and First Aid changes, and how to properly teach the new standards. Update Clinics are not the same as re-certs and do not count as a re-cert for Standard First Aid and CPR-C. For more information on First Aid Update Clinics refer to page two and three of the Summer 2012 Lifeliner. To find a First Aid Update Clinic near you use our FIND A COURSE function or contact your employer. Help spread the word, remind your fellow instructors to attend an Update Clinic!
