How I did it: signed up through redcross.org. it cost me $60 and it was an all-day class. I am now certified in CPR, AED, and first aid. woohoo!

uh I apparently need to meet a 150-character minimum, but that was all there really was to it.

Lessons & tips: if possible, take this class with a friend or family member! we had to partner up to demonstrate some skills -- meaning I had to lie on the floor, pretending to be unconscious, while some random dude who was also a student practiced rolling an 'unconscious person' over. it was mildly uncomfortable & I wished I had convinced a friend to take the class with me so I didn't have to do the activities with strangers.
