CPR CLASSES
Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation (CPR) classes for the public
are offered the 1st Saturday of each month
from 8:30am - 12:30pm at Shoreline Fire Headquarters: 17525 Aurora Ave N.
Classes are taught by firefighter/EMTs and adhere to American Heart
Association standards for the Heartsaver
certification. Students learn adult,
child and infant CPR techniques and are
introduced to an Automated External
Defibrillator (AED). This class is
excellent for those who need a CPR card for
their job or who would like to be prepared
in case of a family emergency.
Classes are available
to anyone age 10 and up for a fee of
$15.00.

organization or group that would like to
learn CPR? Shoreline Firefighters will come
to your location and teach CPR to groups of
10 to 20. Perfect for employees, Scouts,
church or community groups. $15.00 per
person fee.
FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CPR CLASSES
My employer says I need a card. Which
class should I take?
The Heartsaver Class that we teach on the first
Saturday of every month is sufficient for most
occupations. Be sure to check with your
employer on any specific requirements.
First Saturday class is from 0830 to 1230 at
17525 Aurora Ave North. Call 206-533-6500
to register.
I already know CPR…can I just come and
take the test?
Studies show that most people lose their skills
after one year. So taking a class again is a
good way to keep those skills fresh. We don’t
provide refresher classes.
I just need infant/child CPR class…can I
do that?
We recommend you take the full
Heartsaver class from 8:30 till 12:30 on the
first Saturday of each month. It includes infant
and child and you can ask the instructor for
emphasis on children if you prefer.
I need First Aid and CPR…where can
I get that?

The American Red Cross
and some hospitals teach First Aid as a stand
alone class to individuals. Calll
206-726-3534.
I am a healthcare worker,
lifeguard, nurses aid... do you have Healthcare
Provider classes?
Not for individuals. We only teach groups.
Call the American Heart
Association
at 206-341-5024.
We have 40 people who need
CPR... can you help?
You will need to schedule two classes. We
have a 20 student maximum. Or you could
send some to our first Saturday class.
We only have 5 who need the class…?
Our minimum is 10 for groups. You’ll end up paying
for 10, even if 5 only show up. So you should
have your people attend the First Saturday
class.
We didn’t realize our cards were all
expired. Can you teach us this week?
No. We need at least two weeks notice to schedule
our instructors. Please call one of our
referrals to see if you can get a class sooner.
Are children allowed to take the classes?
We recommend that students be at least 12 years
old, though we make exceptions in accordance
with parent’s permission.
