The form allows multiple entries and each entry is for one course. If you are signing up for multiple courses please complete the form for each class. The form will only allow you to register for one class per entry.
For those looking to re-certify please keep in mind your certification, if issued by AHA, is valid for 2 years. Unfortunately, AHA no longer has a shorter recertification course, you must take the entire course again to maintain your certification.
Please feel free to reach out with any specific questions.
Sincerely,
Justin Pedneault
UConn Rescue Training Coordinator
