3. Sudden Cardiac Arrest course
This is a free course and must be done each year through your OH/ID account
Each year, coaches must review the Ohio Department of Health's new video and related fact sheet. Although districts may choose how they will verify completion, the Department encourages use of its Learning Management System (LMS). Access LMS through your individual OH/ID. On the LMS homepage at top right, select the Course Catalog. Then search for sudden cardiac arrest to find the course. After permit holders view the materials and pass a short test, they can earn their certificates of completion.

Our athletic training department through University Hospitals offers free courses from time to time. Check the schedule below. You can pay for one yourself and take it online at NFHS cost is $45 for Ohio coaches http://nfhslearn.com/courses/26, or any OHSAA/ODE approved 1st aid class. http://www.ohsaa.org/members/coachescorner.htm
