Basin Rec continually holds these classes for adults, however, Angie Greenburg, Recreation Coordinator for Basin Rec. told me that the registration of those classes, more often than not, sells out quickly.

The United States Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends employees be certified annually to perform CPR, and first aid training should take place at least once every three years.

Greenburg told me that teenagers have a considerably higher babysitting hiring rate if they are certified in CPR/first aid and that all of the employees at Basin Rec are required to have their certification.
