Yes, but all employees, coaches, and volunteers must be cleared to work by Human Resources to sign up for First Aid CPR/AED training. Please reach out to your HR specialist for more information if you are unsure if you are cleared to work.

Please email a copy of the certification card to CarlyRegehr@cusd.com. You will receive a response on whether or not the card meets District training standards.

You will be required to attend one of the District’s new certification courses or seek training from an external organization.

The most common reasons a certification card from an external agency would be declined/denied:

• Online-only training with no hands-on, in-person skills testing: Per OSHA regulations, First Aid CPR/AED training must include hands-on skills testing with a certified instructor
• Missing a required core skill: The certification card is missing one or multiple of the core skills of First Aid, CPR, and/or AED
• Previous certification is expired beyond 6 months: CUSD will not accept a certification that is more than 6 months expired. You would need to attend a new certification course or seek training from an external organization that meets CUSD and OSHA training standards

Per the Fresno County Superintendent of Schools, teaching credential students are required to receive certification in Infant/Child/Adult First Aid CPR/AED. CUSD does not offer a certification that satisfies these requirements.

Trainees that need to satisfy CUSD’s requirement for training and teaching credential requirements for trainings can reach out to CarlyRegehr@cusd.com for further questions.

Child Development has their own CPR training program that is managed within the department. Their training program covers Adult and Pediatric First Aid CPR/AED, which is a different certification than what is offered through Risk Mangement’s program.

Please reach out to your direct supervisor for information on how to sign up for Child Development’s CPR training.
