Requirements for the Initial Certification of Michigan Teachers


Fully online courses are not acceptable; learning First Aid and Adult & Pediatric CPR requires demonstration and practice. Blended courses (online, combined with traditional face-to-face) and hybrid courses (web-based, live video instructor training plus traditional) are permissible modes for completing CPR and First Aid when available through the providers specified within this guidance.


In-state candidates must provide the educator preparation provider (EPP) with the actual card(s) indicating the completion of approved courses. Out-of-state candidates provide the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) with copies of CPR and First Aid card(s) with application for a Standard teaching certificate.


Physical Limitation Exemption


MCL 380.1531d makes an allowance for educators who are unable to fulfill CPR/FA requirements due to physical limitations. Teacher certification candidates must provide written, dated, and signed documentation on letterhead from a physician/health care provider to be considered for an exemption from CPR/FA.


In-state candidates should provide the above-mentioned documentation to the EPP where they are enrolled. Out-of-state candidates provide documentation to MDE through the certificate application process.


Advanced Level CPR/FA Courses


Approved organizations offering advanced level CPR/FA course(s) with training that surpass the noted requirements will be acceptable for fulfilling training once appropriate documentation is provided to the EPP or MDE. Documentation must be submitted in the form of a letter on letterhead, signed and dated by an administrator of an organization that provides training in CPR and First Aid.email MDE-EducatorHelp@Michigan.gov.
