CPR Certification

CPR certification is required for all teacher license applications and renewals.

Since July 1, 2012, licensing in the state of Indiana includes an applicant having current certification in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver. This can be completed through the American Heart Association or through the American Red Cross, as well as other sources listed on the DOE website.

Sometimes teacher candidates can get the certification along with RA's and others via Student Life. Sometimes the course is offered in Spring Term. Teacher candidates assume all costs for their CPR certification.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CPR COURSE MUST HAVE THE "HANDS ON" COMPONENT FOR TRAINING. IT CAN BE A HYBRID COURSE (PART ONLINE BOOK TRAINING WITH THE PHYSICAL TRAINING DONE IN PERSON.

The certification is good for two years. Indiana requires all licensed teachers to be certified during their careers.
