anyone know of a good spot to get trained?

I looked on the red cross website and its $50 for a day session. Looking to get certified and wondering if anyone on here had any experience with it.

thanks

if you're a student, then go ^
if not, red cross is good enough

City of Raleigh use to offer a class through the community center

just be careful, at some point CPR becomes necrophilia

Yeah just check on that red cross website, I've done a few required for work before and they're pretty simple. I prefer the online ones, you can do the review and quizzes on there and only spend 2 hours at the actual training site frenching the dummy instead of the full 8 hour saturday or two night classes. American Heart Association does those, too, look on their website but I haven't tried them.

i did mine at NCSU for pretty cheap. Someone on here organized it. She got like 3 of us together and one of the PE teacher's at NCSU taught it. I don't think i was a student at the time.

That being said, I'm fairly certain my roommate did his online recently. That may have been recertification though.

I got mine at the Y several years ago.

I did it through the Red Cross.

Pretty easy class. Just listen, read, take notes, practice on dummies and then you walk out with your certification a couple hours later.
