"Hi, My name is Sunshine and I'm with Sunshine Safety. We are located in Snellville, Georgia. I have been involved in the health and safety business for approximately fifteen years. I became certified as an instructor in 2004 and opened my own business in 2006. Today, we are going to talk about how to become CPR certified. Getting certified to conduct CPR's actually a very simple process. The first thing you want to do is make sure that your instructor is actually a certified instructor, through a nationally recognized program such as American Safety and Health Institute, American Red Cross or American Heart Association. Your instructor should be able to show their certificates at your request to prove that they are an instructor through those organizations. You would simply sign up for a class and attend the class. The class is generally ranged between four and eight hours long, depending on what exactly you're getting certified in. You can get certified in adult, child, and infant CPR, as well as the defibrillator and choking. When you attend a class, you should receive your own booklet and at the end of the class, you should receive your certification cards. There are some times that cards may be sent to you but in the most part you should be able to receive your card at the end of class. Along with the class, you are expected to show the skills that you have learned and at the end of every class there's a written test that you must pass. Once again, becoming CPR certified is very important but also know that it is a process that everyone can do."
