First Aid and CPR<\/h3>\n

Mountain biking is a sport of inherent risks and injuries can happen away from immediate medical services. Proper training empowers coaches to respond appropriately in challenging situations so that they can quickly and calmly administer aid to their level of training and assess if emergency personnel should be alerted.<\/span><\/p>\n

All Level 2 and Level 3 coaches are required to be certified in first aid (AHA Basic First Aid or equivalent) and CPR. First aid certifications last 2-3 years depending on the accrediting body. CPR is often included with first aid training, but should have its own certification card. CPR certifications typically last 2 years and courses are widely available.<\/span><\/p>\n

All first aid and CPR classes must have an in-person component. Fully online classes are not accepted.<\/p>\n

Many occupations require advanced first aid training to maintain their professional license and\/or as a condition of employment. For qualifications listed below, upload your certification directly to your coach profile in place of the first aid requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
