held by the SCA. That is important because the Board does not want to be in the

color=#0000ff size=2>In Ansteorra, we have a Training Deputy who works for the
KC who organizes all sorts of training including CPR and First Aid certification
classes. Any vendor who provides training acceptable to the SCA for Chirurgeon
warranting may work with that Deputy to schedule courses which she then
promotes. To date only Software Innovation, an ASHI training center owned by me,
has chosen to work with her, but any vendor is welcome. A similar structure is
used at Gulf War and at Pennsic.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>That said, Software Innovation, though it is a for-profit
company, provides the certification courses at roughly our cost and the
instructors donate their time when teaching at SCA events. We also teach at
businesses and other places and when we do that our teachers are paid and the
cost of the course it higher. We also, with the permission of ASHI, base our
examples in the SCA world when we teach SCA people. Finally, we teach only
CPR-PRO and BLS first aid, the versions required for a first level professional.
The differences are in adding two person skills, the use of oxygen and BVMs, and
a few other skills in CPR. In first aid, we usually have more hands on training
than the basic courses.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

you. I understand I can go to outside organizations. That is why I was asking

rather go to on held by an SCA member if I had a choice.<BR><BR>As for the
area I play in, I am in Steppes. It is not immediately pressing. My certs are

Alasdair,<BR>> <BR>> You should be able to contact your local Red Cross
or American Heart<BR>> Association for local classes. I don't think that
anyone has scheduled<BR>> classes past Gulf War yet. Which area do you play
in? If you are going to be<BR>> in the north at some point, I can probably
set something up.<BR>> <BR>> Debora<BR>> <BR>> ----- Original
