Course Disclaimer: The course for which you are enrolled may include physical strain, possibility of cross infection and emotional stress. If you have a medical or coronary history or your physician has recommended that you avoid strenuous activity or limit your activity in any way, you should consult with your physician and ask his/her advice as to whether you should participate in a CPR course. CPR is hard work whether practicing on mannequins or providing CPR to a person. If you recently had any type of infectious disease including upper respiratory infection or open sores on your mouth or hands, you WILL NOT be allowed to practice on the mannequins. American Heart Association CPR certification is formal recognition that you have met certain standards at the time the course is presented. It does not guarantee performance at a later date nor does it license an individual to perform any procedures. Some or all the materials used in this course may be supplied by the American Heart Association. Fees charged for these course/materials do not represent income to the American Heart Association.
