CALS CPR Training
Friday, September 11
1 pm – 5 pm
Many healthcare jobs require CPR/Basic Life Support (BLS) training, and this course knocks it out for free, right on campus.
CALS Career Services is offering American Heart Association BLS certification, the credential tailored to healthcare professions, at no cost to CALS students. Sessions are small (10 students each), hands-on, and led by a certified instructor from BadgerEMS.
Note:
- This session is open to CALS students only.
- If you are looking for general CPR certification for non-professional reasons, this course is different, and we recommend you obtain that credential through another source, such as RecWell or UWPD.
- Please only sign up for ONE session.
If this session fills up, don't worry: we're running three sessions this semester. Check Handshake for the other dates and to register. Spots fill on a first-come, first-served basis.
