Offering that CPR course without providing certification is a liability. Advertising it is not a smart thing to do.
I am happy to respond to your thoughts as the course director. We appreciate 911 Surf Reports support of our course and disagree with your thoughts. We train individuals at an introductory level to have some awareness of what to do if they encounter a drowning person. The aim is to (1) empower bystanders to act and (2) do what we can to combat very bad information out there about treatment. In the course we are clear that this is an introduction and no certifications are obtained. What would be dangerous would be for us to provide certifications without the full curriculum. Based on Good Samaritan laws members of the public are expected to practice to their knowledge base and not cause further harm. Having an even basic knowledge of CPR and rendering it on a drowning person does not cause further harm and carries a better chance of helping than doing nothing at all. The other skills provided (tourniquet and epi-pen) can be easily taught and do not usually involve any certification. I appreciate your concerns and welcome you to contact me through the course site (www.surfmedjax.com) with further questions. And to be clear, 911 Surf Report is not affiliated with our course and does not carry any burden of liability associated with it.
