Besides the certificate, you may also want to know what other literature or textbook you will be taking home. You may be curious about the type of mannequins used for practice during the training and how they are sanitized during the session and between sessions. Other courses may ask that 2 or more people share a mannequin. Mostly, alcohol swabs are used to clean the mannequin's mouth and nose between people. The mannequins should be sterilized more effectively between training sessions.
Most agencies prefer to keep their class size small.
Red Cross and St. John, for example, offer the training to no more than twelve people at a time. ADET brings in additional instructors as the class size dictates. The cost of training depends on the agency, the class size, the location and the length of the program. Aquatic Development and Emergency Training offers training programs worldwide and of course locally. For Red Cross information online visit the Canadian Red Cross Site .
