Confirm the exact certification your form requires

First Response Erie issues HSI certification. HSI is widely accepted, but some employers, licenses, or schools name a specific provider. Students are responsible for verifying that HSI meets their requirement before registering.

If the requirement includes healthcare-provider CPR, review BLS certification. If it includes OSHA Outreach or workplace compliance topics, review OSHA 10/30 and online compliance training.
