About Us

NW Ohio CPR was started by Joshua Anderson as a means to further his desire to improve the community. Having spent years working to help the community in various ways, Josh realized that his abilities and passion could both be utilized by teaching people how to help others. SO when the opportunity to become a CPR instructor presented itself the moment was taken.

With a personal and professional background involving scouting, community involvement, and various educational entities, Josh is a well rounded person for the purpose of teaching lifesaving skills. Josh has worked with Girl Scouts, been employed in schools, and has spent years in the volunteer community as a leader and developer. His experiences in the community and in the field of Information Technology have allowed him to become a confident presenter on a variety of subjects in front of large and small groups alike.

Porro cupiditate doloremque nihil architecto, id nisi tenetur obcaecati, harum nulla aut ipsam sunt ullam eos, ipsa odit voluptatibus veniam. Amet itaque incidunt cumque tenetur, omnis repellat non dolorem nostrum.

Adult, Child, Infant, or Combination

First Aid

When you understand first aid, you'll gain the ability to help those in need. Through our first aid certification classes you'll learn how to respond to specific situations, which will help you care for people in crisis as they wait for medical professionals to arrive.

Adult/Child, Infant, or Combination

CPR

The Adult course incorporates the latest science and teaches students how to respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies for victims. Students who successfully complete this course will receive a certificate for CPR valid for two years.

Adult/Child, Infant, or Combination

AED Use (Automated External Defibrillator)

Being able to provide help to anyone at any time is a powerful thing. That's why AED classes are designed to teach you how to use an automated external defibrillator. This way, you can provide care - no matter where you are or who the "patient" may be.

Often Combined with First Aid and/or CPR

Babysitting

The American Red Cross is the nation's leader in babysitting classes and child care training, and will prepare you to become one of the most capable, trusted and in-demand sitters in your neighborhood. In fact, 8 in 10 surveyed parents said they would pay more for a trained babysitter who holds Red Cross babysitting certifications. Start your babysitting business on the right foot and learn how to be a safe, professional and reliable sitter. You can also opt to get certified in First Aid and CPR/AED, and add even more value to your clients.

These policies are subject to change.

It is necessary that students be present for the complete course, take part in all activities, and demonstrate necessary skills to a level satisfactory to the instructor. With that stated, it is the policy of NW Ohio CPR that students who do not attend the complete class, who do not take part in class activities, or who do not show skill competency will not receive certification for completing the course. In the event that the instructor decides that a student has not completed the requirements of the course no certification will be awarded and no refund for the course offered.

Attendance does not necessitate certification. Students are being taught skills that may help to save a life or keep people safe; therefor it is necessary that students shall be proficient in certain skills prior to being certified in such skills.

NW Ohio CPR reserves sole discretion when it comes to determining whether to submit course completion to the American Red Cross for certification or whether to not submit based upon observed student performance or involvement in a course.

It is strongly recommended that you register for a class in advance. Walk in registrations for a class may be possible, but are not guaranteed. Only pre-registered attendees will be guaranteed a spot in a class. There will be an additional $10 day of fee for all walk-in registrations.
