I don't know what level of CPR you will be taking, but for lay people it's easier. The American Heart Association does not offer first aid classes. Good luck and have fun. Same material.

I first got certified when I was 9 or 10. It is something that you forget easily if you don't use it. I just took a class last week, but I use CPR often enough that I still remember everything...except infant CPR which I (thankfully) have never had to do. The first aid part of the class is equaly easy. Not at all. I first got certified when I was 9 or 10. It is something that you forget easily if you don’t use it.
