Renewing Your SFA Certification CPR AND FIRST AID
As recommended by both the "International Curriculum Guidelines for Preparing Physical Activity Instructors of Older Adults" and the "National Standards for Preparing Senior Fitness Instructors," SFA requires all certified professionals to maintain current certification in both Adult CPR and First Aid. AED certification, although recommended, is not required.
Approved CPR and First Aid certification programs must meet or exceed OSHA (U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety & Health Administration) Guidelines for First Aid Training Programs. For example, the American Red Cross program, "Standard First Aid with CPR/AED - Adult" is a commonly available program that will meet these requirements. However, although the American Heart Association's "First Aid & CPR Training/Certification" program will meet SFA's requirements, their Heartsaver CPR/AED program will only meet the CPR requirement. NOTE: Those that originally earned their CPR and/or First Aid certification through an approved provider such as those listed below, may renew their certifications through an OSHA approved online CPR/First Aid certification provider.
