The first thing you can do is call the local hospital. Hospitals often offer certification classes because many health professionals are required to have current certification. You can also call the local Red Cross chapter as it offers CPR classes for the general public.
Pinpoint what type of CPR class is desired. Are you seeking CPR for infants and small children, or would certification to perform CPR on adults be more beneficial? Or would you like a combined class? Perhaps you are already certified and need a refresher course? Try to be as specific as possible.
Register for the class that best fits in terms of schedule and desired skill level. Classes can take anywhere from two hours to five hours, depending on the subject and the amount of people in attendance. Be sure to ask how long the class will last to ensure that enough time is allotted to complete it.
