Regulation 7.1.2.1: The FCCP shall have successfully completed pediatric first aid and CPR prior to being licensed and must remain currently certified.

“According to documents on site and in the provider's BFIS Quality and Credential account, their First Aid and CPR certification expired on 11/05/2024. The provider recently completed the online portion of the First Aid and CPR training and is scheduled to complete the in person portion soon. The provider thought the expiration date was in November of 2025. I asked if she had a certificate from November of 2023, as that would be needed to prove that her certification was still valid. She did not have any documentation from 2023. Corrective Action: Once you have completed the in person part of the First Aid and CPR certification training, submit the certificates to Northern Lights at CCV and include this licensor. Please create a system for tracking your First Aid and CPR expiration date to ensure ongoing compliance with this regulation.”
