CPR & First Aid

You are required to attend the entire class you have enrolled in to receive a card. If you miss or do not successfully complete any part of your class, you must register and pay for another class. Report to the class session you have registered for unless you are notified by the College that the class is full or has been cancelled.

Cost includes the cost of issuing AHA CPR/First Aid e-cards (electronic cards via email). You will receive the AHA CPR/First Aid e-card within 14 business days after successful completion of the course. AHA e-cards expire two years from the end of the month of the issue date.

Textbook not required. If you would like to purchase a copy, you can do so at the SCC Campus Store, 8800 O St., Lincoln, NE, or online at SCC Campus Store.

We require 24 hours’ notice before the day of class to drop or change any CPR or First Aid class. Call 402-437-2700.

What are the different kinds of CPR and which one do I take?
CPR BLS is for those who are in the health field and need a more in-depth class. CRP AED is designed for the community/layperson. You will need to make sure the class meets the requirements from your employer, licensing agency or school based on the course descriptions.

What are the requirements for CPR/First Aid?
You must attend and pass the entire class, either all in-person or online lecture and in-person skills. You must provide an email in order to receive access to your card.

How long is my card good for?
American Heart Association CPR cards are good for two years from month of issue.

When will I get my card?
Students will receive an email with a link to the AHA site to access and print off their card about two weeks after successful course completion.

What if I lose my card?
You can go to the American Heart Association website and print off another card.

Do you have online CPR/First Aid classes?
Yes. You can take the CPR Online + Skills Session or the First Aid Online + Skills Session class where the coursework part is completed online and then the skills portion is done in-person.

What do I do if my card is expired?
If your current card has expired, you will need to take the whole course over again.

Do you offer a combined CPR and First Aid class?
We do not offer a combined class. You must register and pay for each class separately.
