[Noisebridge-discuss] Everyone should get certified!

[Christie Dudley]

So a really cool result of the First aid and CPR bit I brought up at the
meeting last night, Michael stepped up and said he'd teach the class in our
now-established Noisebridge style: open to everyone and free of charge.

So we need to decide when.  With only 2 hours needed for each, we could
start at, say, 6PM and finish up in one night if we wanted to go that
route.  I think it'd be interesting to hear people's opinions on how and
when to do this.

Hi Christie,

I'm glad to be able to contribute to noisebridge, doing what I love to do.
As for my costs, they are negligible and any donations people would want to
make I would forward on to Noisebridge. As for set up, I will need a table
to demonstrate CPR skills for that class and means to show a dvd for the
first aid class. Neither of which should be a problem.

Each certified class lasts about 2 hours, in which I include the same
material as a 4 hour red cross class, so it's a little intensive. I plan to
specifically cover the kinds of injuries and emergency situations we  might
run up against.

Also, the classes are a lot more fun and beneficial the more people we have,
so please encourage as many people as possible to make it. I always feel
best when as many people as possible know these skills. Everybody who
completes the classes will get a two year national  certification for CPR
and a three year certification for First Aid.

oh yeah, Fun, did I mention fun? my students and I always have a good time
in my classes, with plenty of opportunity to laugh.

Be sure to let me know if anyone has further questions,

-michael
