SOUTH KING COUNTY CPR & FIRST AID

About Our Program & Curriculum

Renton RFA was a founding member of South King County CPR & First Aid. Our collaborative group of fire departments offer certified CPR/AED and first aid classes to the public at an affordable rate throughout South King County. We also offer free, uncertified classes several times a year, and provide private classes for a fee for groups and businesses of 10+ attendees.

CPR/AED classes and first aid classes are both 1/2 day time commitments. Participants can choose to sign up for one or both classes, depending on their needs. All classes are taught by certified firefighter/EMT instructors. The curriculum we provide is similar to that made standard by the American Heart Association (AHA) and taught by both the AHA and American Red Cross.

CPR / AED Curriculum: Our CPR / AED class is designed to provide the fundamental skills and confidence needed to perform CPR on an adult. Our instructors may choose to touch on child and/or infant CPR at their discretion, but these topics are not modules in our training program, nor do we provide any child CPR or infant CPR specific certification.

Participants learn how to recognize and alleviate airway obstructions, properly use an AED (automatic external defibrillator), and the signs, symptoms, and corrective action for a stroke or heart attack. Successful completion will result in a completion card. This card satisfies WISHA and OSHA requirements for CPR.

First Aid Curriculum: Our First Aid class provides the fundamental skills necessary to recognize and treat medical emergencies. Participants learn scene safety, the signs and symptoms of diabetes, stroke, and seizures, and how to best treat these emergencies. Participants also learn how to control bleeding, treat for shock and burns, and manage head and spine injuries. Successful completion will result in a completion card. This card satisfies WISHA and OSHA requirements for First Aid.

Completion Cards

Our paid classes include certified completion cards for participants who attend and successfully complete the class(es). These cards verify that the user has met the performance standards of nationally recognized institutions. South King County CPR & First Aid cards are also recognized by WISHA and OSHA – meeting these important safety requirements.

Please note: the card you receive from taking either class within our program is not an “AHA Heartsaver” branded card. If you are taking CPR and/or First Aid to satisfy an employer requirement, please check with them to make sure they accept certified training from the fire department.
