  • In-person CPR and first aid certification (29 DCMR § 4249.4(e))
  • Training by the participant on the participant's needs and goals (29 DCMR § 4249.4(c))

Why some registries are not screened yet

The registry's terms forbid automated searches
The registry's terms, or the law behind it, rule out automated or third-party searches, so ezOIG doesn't run them.
