Are you an SDI CPROX, CPR1st and CPROX1stAED Instructor?
Scuba Diving International’s (SDI) CPR/first aid programs are being replaced by the First Response Training International suite of materials and certifications. Instructors currently teaching the CPROX courses can continue to do so until the rating is disabled. The date of CPROX’s deactivation will be communicated via members news and renewal notices. The new materials and certifications offer a totally fresh presentation and compliance for layperson rescue training. We are confident that the transition will not only bring CPROX instructors into international compliance but also be more competitive in the CPR and first aid marketplace. A specially designed upgrade path, known as the CPROX1st AED Gap.
