CPR classes are required and mandated in certain professions that involve public health and safety. You should check with your employer to assess what their specific requirements may be. While other work environments may not require CPR certification, it is good practice to gain this knowledge by taking an appropriate CPR and first aid course if you work or are engaged in an environment where many people may frequently gather.Suggested professions where CPR training is particularly encouraged include the following:
