First Aid & CPR
Training
For more

FSO/MT
Or Course instructor Steve
Shane
|
It is that time of year once
again. I have set up three CPR/First Aid classes for the
members of our flotilla. These classes will be taught under
the auspices of the American Safety and Health Institute.
This agency is the same one that I use to certify the Gold
Side's boat crews.
As reminder, all CPR and First
Aid certifications are good for two years. If you took a
class last year you do not need to take it again this year
(although you are welcome to). If you took a class prior to
last year, your certification has expired, and should be
renewed. We are specially encouraging all members involved
in operations to be sure to be qualified due to the nature
of our mission. However, it should be noted that these
classes are not just for operations. Vessel examiners,
marine safety personnel, and just plain folks will benefit
from having this knowledge (or perhaps someone else close to
you will benefit from your knowledge).
New this year, I have modified
the classes so that each class will work for new
certification as well as recertification. This opens more
dates for shipmates to fit them into their schedule. All the
classes will be held from 0900 to 1400, with a break for
lunch.
The classes will be offered on
the following three Saturdays in the South Portland Coast
Guard Station classroom:
•March 31st –
•April 28th –
(This class is part of the
Division Training Day. This class will be open to all
auxiliarists in the Division. Note that since this class
will take up the day, you would not have an opportunity to
take any of the other classes offered. It would be best to
take one of the other classes if you can.)
•May 26th
-
Please pick the class that best
fits your needs and schedule. I need to point out that there
is a strict limit of 10 students per class. Once you have
decided on which class you want to participate in, please
email me as soon as you can. Note that these classes have
been entered into myAUX and you can respond to me through
that portal. This is a first come, first serve situation.
Again, due to the cost of the certification cards, there has
to be a $10.00 charge for taking the class.
If you have any questions please
feel free to email me. Again, as a reminder, due to the time
it takes to set up the manikins, just showing up the day of
the class will not work. Be sure to email me your choice of
class dates as soon as you can to insure a spot.
