The licensing coordinator's review of the provider's file revealed that their CPR and first aid certification expired in October 2023. Corrective action: On January 22, 2024, I completed an online CPR and First Aid Training. I am following up with an instructor by feb 3 2024 to schedule the hands on portion of the training to be completed by February 5, 2024. In the future, I will closely monitor the expiration dates of my training in order to complete my recertification on time.
