Since First Aid and CPR training is not available through the Alliance, new applicants and caregivers renewing their license must pay for these trainings out of pocket and can submit for reimbursement once their license is issued.
What CPR and First Aid training is required?
WAC 110-148-1375 requires all caregivers over the age of 18 to complete the following to get licensed:
- First Aid
- Age-appropriate, adult or infant, CPR training that meets nationally recognized standards set by the American Heart Association
Find First Aid-CPR Training near you: American Red Cross, American Heart Association, check with your local fire station, or search online for CPR training that is certified by the American Heart Association.
How do caregivers request reimbursement?
- Keep a copy of your receipt from the training along with your certification card showing you’ve met the CPR and First Aid requirements.
- Once your license has been issued, contact your licensor for specific instructions and give them your CPR and First Aid training receipt.
- Your licensor will complete the reimbursement form on your behalf to ensure you receive your payment.
Remember, if you withdraw your application or your foster care application is denied, you will not be eligible for reimbursement. If you have any questions, contact your licensor.
