Because CPR and First Aid Training techniques are often revised over time, the NCIA board requires that you renew your training certification every two years. The training can done separately or may be combined. It’s important that you are aware of when your training expires so that you can schedule renewal training prior to expiration. The expiration date will be noted on your training card and/or certificate.
