When looking for CPR/First Aid training accepted by Child Care Licensing and The Nevada Registry, follow these guidelines:
- Find an instructor issuing an official card from one of these authorized agencies: American Heart Association, American Red Cross, or HSI (parent agency for American Safety and Health Institute, Medic First Aid and EMS Safety Services brands). A card issued under a person’s business name is not accepted, even if it bears the logo of one of the recognized organizations. For example; “Sally Nevada’s CPR Training” (with a the logo from the AHA). If Sally Nevada is a certified instructor through the AHA, she can issue an official AHA card.
- Confirm the CPR course includes in-person skills demonstration. Online-only CPR courses are not accepted.
- Select a CPR and First Aid course which includes an infant/child/pediatric component. Adult-only CPR and First Aid does not meet the licensing requirement and will not be accepted.
