Troop 550 is offering online hybrid Wilderness First Aid and CPR/AED classes.
Wilderness First Aid:
Students are enrolled in a hybrid class - 8 hours of course content is accessed online, to be completed at your convenience. Once the student completes the online class, a skills evaluation is scheduled with Troop 550 Instructors. The skills evaluation is approximately 8 hours of skills practice and evaluation.
CPR/AED:
Students are enrolled in an online class, approximately 2 hours of online content, followed by a scheduled skills evaluation. Troop 550 offers Adult, Child and Infant CPR instruction. We use Prestan CPR dummies with feedback for compression effectiveness and rate.
Wilderness First Aid and CPR/AED skills evaluations may be scheduled on the same day.
You will bring your gear, packed for the high adventure you're attending, to the skills evaluation. You will need it to improvise splints with the gear you'll have on your trek.
Certification:
Upon completion of Wilderness First Aid and CPR/AED, students are issued an ECSI Certificate of Completion. Renewal is recommended after 2 years. This Certificate of Completion meets the requirement for Scouting America High Adventure Base Wilderness First Aid and CPR/AED training.
