Learn to teach CPR at ICC

Independence Community College will be offering a CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) Instructor course this month as part of Allied Health’s Fall class offerings. All persons interested in teaching lifesaving CPR techniques are welcome to enroll. Students must have a current CPR certification card.

The two-day instructional session will be held on Monday, September 27th, from 1:00-5:00 p.m., and on Wednesday, September 29th, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Allied Health Instructor Sue Manning will teach the course in room W105 at ICC West, 2615 W. Main, in Independence.

Course material will help a CPR provider to become a CPR instructor. The student will participate in adult learning and skills learning scenarios, while reviewing cardiac and respiratory emergencies, basic anatomical structures, universal precaution, and early entry into the EMS system.

For students without a current CPR certification card, the next regular CPR training course will be offered on Saturday, October 9, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at ICC West. Completion of this entry level class will result in affirmation of the student by the American Heart Association. Study will include infant, child and adult foreign body airway obstruction and CPR as well as pocket mask use, universal precautions, skills performance, and didactic learning.


To enroll, call 332-5400. Enrollment may also be done at the first class session.
