Employees and students: Summer is a great time to get trained in First Aid/CPR/AED! We would love for every department to have somebody trained in these skills. There are still a few openings in the following classes, and each class is split into two morning sections from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to allow ample time to practice your newly learned skills.
Sign-ups and payment are on the Security Services website, and the cost is just $45. Each class must have a minimum of four people to hold the class, and the two-day classes cap at eight people. Grab your friends and coworkers and sign up soon, as they are first-come, first-served!
Contact Senior Training Officer Mark Stone at 503-554-2090 or mstone@georgefox.edu if you have any questions, or if you need the BLS class for healthcare professionals, which is different from these classes.
