CPR, First Aid, Bloodborne Pathogen schedule of classes for
Childcare Providers/Teachers and the Construction Industry (NOTE: These are NOT Healthcare Provider CPR classes)
Classes are accepted by Bureau of Children and Adult Licensing and Michigan Department of Education and MIOSHA. All of the following trainings are valid for first time certification, lapsed certification or renewal unless otherwise noted below. You will also receive a certificate for Bloodborne/Airborne Pathogens.
Please check with other licensing entities to verify our training meets their standards. If you become married, divorced or otherwise change your name after the certificate(s) is/are issued, we will only be able to change your name during your next training certification. We issue certificates in the legal name stated on your registration form as of the date of the training. We are unable to backdate or otherwise retroactively change information after the training unless there is an error made on the original certificate. Errors will be corrected and a new certificate will be issued as long as the error is brought to our attention within 30 days following the receipt of the training certificate(s).
CHILDCARE PROVIDERS/TEACHERS: Please bring a #10 (lettersize) self-addressed stamped envelope to have card/certificate mailed to you.
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY: Cards/certificates will be mailed to your employer who paid for your training.
Effective March 28, 2018, Child Care Licensing no longer requires annual recertification for CPR. Your course completion cards for CPR and First Aid are now valid for two years before recertification is required. You should expect to receive your course completion card through the U.S. Postal Service within a few business days after the training. If you do not receive your card within 30-days, please contact our office to avoid paying a card replacement fee.
Please arrive early. Our training center is open at least 30 minutes before the course start time and classes will begin promptly at the scheduled time.
Classes are for participants only. Please do not bring your children or family members who are not enrolled in the class with you. You will need to make other arrangements for your child care before attending the training class and to avoid distractions for all participants. Finally, if you are ill or have a sore throat, please notify us and do not attend the training. We can reschedule you to the next monthly class. Thank you!
