IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING

CPR/FIRST AID TRAINING

As of June 1, 2016:
CPR/First Aid training will be recognized by Child Care Licensing and The Nevada Registry for Career Ladder placement
ONLY when it is taken from an instructor issuing an official certification card from one of the following 5 agencies:

American Heart Association

American Red Cross
American Safety and Health Institute
EMS Safety Services
Medic First Aid
What does it mean?
This means that you will no longer receive a Certificate of Completion with a Registry approval code, nor will an
approval code be listed on your certification card for CPR/First Aid training (applies to CPR/First Aid training only).

How can I be sure that the official card will be issued?

Contact the instructor to confirm which card will be issued BEFORE registering for the class.
If he/she cannot guarantee that an official card will be issued, DO NOT TAKE THE TRAINING!
Make your investment of time and money count! CPR/First Aid training will be applied toward the requirements for Child
Care Licensing/Career Ladder Placement with The Nevada Registry ONLY when the official cards of the above-named
national training organizations are issued.

How can I find a CPR instructor?

Individual CPR/First Aid trainings will no longer be listed on The Nevada Registrys Training Calendar, but you can still
easily find an instructor who issues official certification cards by visiting the new CPR Instructor Listing located on the
Training Calendar page of the Registrys website. Look for this symbol to find an instructor near you.

Note: CPR/First Aid training can be taken from ANY certified CPR Instructor, regardless of whether he/she is listed in the CPR Instructor Listing,
as long as an official certification card from one of the five agencies listed above will be issued.
