I will probably have my wife go as well since she has never been CPR certified before and its good for everyone to know.

I know I can just hop on the American Red Cross web site and find a local class but I was hoping to get a better recommendation from someone, or give some business to someone on here (cmalliard?). More importantly, I was hoping to find a set of classes that teach Advanced First Responder skills with a national certification (BLS/ALS). Would be nice to get my feet wet again and learn all the new fangled things that bus drivers do nowadays.
Wow I didn't realize until you mentioned it how much I was dreading sitting through a basics class. Been meaning to update my CPR certs a while back but sitting through 6 hours with true beginners can be painful. Tag for more details.
