I recently learned about this great new concept for learning CPR and first aid. The course is called CPR by Donation. The concept is simple.
These training courses are offered not for a set fee, but for a suggested donation – what ever the participant can afford.
This is the same as a traditional CPR and first aid class – the same skills are learned and practiced. Course completion cards, aka the “CPR card” or “First Aid card”, are mailed out after successful course completion to all participants.
Even though there is no set fee for the course, a donation is recommended. The instructor still
incurs expenses for the course, including supplies and fees associated with processing and mailing the course completion cards.
For every CPR by Donation course offered, a local organization is chosen as a recipient of a portion of the donations received. Courses are offered every other month except for December.
To learn more about this and other courses offered, and to get tips on what is an appropriate donation, please visit Coastal CPR & First Aid.
