CPR/AED Training/Certification
Undergraduate Students, Graduate Students, and Licensed Educators
Indiana Department of Education CPR/AED Training/Certification Requirement for Licensure
CPR/AED training and eventual certification is a requirement set forth by the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) for all initial (and at the time of conversion or renewal of any kind) teacher education licenses. CPR-Heimlich Maneuver training may be delivered primarily online, but it must include a “hands-on” training/demonstration component with a mannequin. To see additional information about this requirement and a list of approved providers, visit the IDOE website at DOE: CPR and AED Certification (in.gov).
Teacher Education and Purdue University Fire Department CPR Training
Training and Registration
The training will be delivered in a 2-part, “blended” format, with the first portion of the training delivered online by the American Heart Association (AHA), and upon completion, a second in-person, hands-on training session conducted by the Purdue University Fire Department. TWO consecutive registrations are required for training and certification. Plan to complete the second registration immediately following the first. The first registration is for the online portion of the training via the AHA registration link. The second registration is for the in-person, hands-on training session with the Purdue University Fire Department. When registering for the online AHA portion of the training, be sure to register for the additional CPR/AED – Adult, Child, Infant sections.
Upon completion of the online training, students MUST download the completion certificate and email it to Assistant Chief Kevin Luse at kluse@purdue.edu. Students will not be allowed to complete the skills session without having emailed the online completion certificate. The in-person training cannot be completed prior to the online training. Content/material from the online training session will be referenced and required to pass during the in-person training.
