How I did it: We signed up through the local Red Cross for a half day class. It was only a half day, and the instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. They give you a book and a reminder card so you can brush up on the skills after the class. It was kind of a goofy thing to do on a nice weekend, but worth it. Read how I did it…
