Location: The Broward County Chapter of The Red Cross

Type: Education, Training, and Certification (Public Health and Safety)

Many courses are available, but as to be expected many of them are for those with ties to the medical profession (EMTs, Nurses, Caregivers, etc). In Florida, there are many hurricanes each year, and my Girl Scout survival skills are rather weak. I figured its time for a refresher course (or two).

• Aquatics Courses: water rescue and lifeguard training (will require being in far better shape and working on that tan first)
• First Aid/CPR/AED: Always handy in case of emergencies. Separate courses from the Life Guard Series
• Family Care Courses: Babysitter Training, Safe Baby Prevention, and Pet First Aid? Not that any of the three are applicable for me in my present life, but I think they might be interesting to learn about in the event I decided to become a nanny or dog walker.
