Recerts are to complete 5 sets of vital signs on class members. The full WALS class plus CPR and written exam will re-certify your WFR/WEMT.  WEMTs must have 24 hrs plus CPR.

All non WMO recerts should take Advanced airway session, Anaphylaxis session, oxygen session, wound closure session. NON WMO grads may test out of one of these. Less than 80% on that test requires taking that session or if missed in class taking a private $25 tutoring session. CPR professional level no more than 6 months old is required.
