Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Training Resources
One requirement of Tenn. Code Ann. § 49-6-3601 is all coaches, whether employed by a LEA or public charter school or a volunteer, shall receive training in CPR and AEDs. LEAs may choose to go above and beyond the law and certify coaches from a national certifying organization such as the American Heart Association or American Red Cross. Whether receiving training or certification, it is paramount that coaches know how to respond during sudden cardiac arrest. High quality CPR delivered early during an emergency saves lives!
