- First Aid/CPR and AED Training Providers
Applicants applying for an initial teaching or renewal of a teaching license must have successfully completed training in:
- Cardiopulmonary resescitation that includes a test demonstration on a mannequin,
- Removing a foreign body causing an obstruction in an airway, and the Heimlich Maneuver; and,
- Valid certification in each of these procedures from either the American Red Cross or the American Heart Association or other providers as approved by the board
An initial teaching license is the first license issued to an applicant, regardless of content area or setting; once this license has been established all subsequent licenses will be exempt from the CPR/Heimlich Maneuver certification requirement. A list of Approved providers can be found at the Indiana Department of Education CPR-Heimlich Maneuver Certification
