- Employee Badge
- Employee ID number
Initial: This course will be provided at no cost one time per person, per certification term (two years). Failure to attend a scheduled class (without 24 hour notification of cancellation) will result in a charge for the next class attended. Prices vary.

CPR books and other course material will be made available through the Wagner Library 30 days prior to the class.
