Within two business days of registration, you will receive a link from the HSI Platform for the first part of the training, a four-hour online class that must be finished before the in-person part of the CPR training.
Please check your spam for an email from HSI Platform. The link is not sent automatically and does not come from a CCR&R email. If you have not received your link within two business days of registration, please email ccrr@clackesd.org and let us know.
Oregon Registry Online hours are usually issued within five business days of the end of the class. You will be notified by email. Your hours are uploaded automatically into ORO; you do not need to upload your certificate into ORO yourself unless requested.
Certificates are sent out via email after the class is closed. All of the participants’ certificates are sent out as one document.
Certificates are printed with your name as it is spelled in Oregon Registry Online. If your name is spelled wrong, you will need to log in to your ORO account and correct it. Then contact ccrr@clackesd.org and request a new certificate for the class.
CPR cards are given out at the end of the in-person part of the CPR class. If you lose your card, please email ccrr@clacked.org. You will also receive a certificate of completion after your hours are issued.
This depends on the instructor, however all participants are expected to participate, whether on-camera, in the chat, in breakout rooms, or unmuted.
Please put your name and email address into the chat when you first sign on. This is especially important if two or more people are sharing a computer.
Participants who miss more than 15 minutes are marked “incomplete.”
