There will be an additional $20 fee for both residents and non-residents if the individual requires an American Heart Association Certificate of Training.

Individuals who are seeking a Certificate of Training must be able to physically perform CPR and AED, which includes kneeling on the floor and using their arms and hands to perform continuous chest compressions.
