Answer 2

You need the same qualifications that were needed when you repeatedly asked this question and questions regarding "unconscious school children" under the ID of RubioJ. Hey, RubioJ..don't send me your angry E-Mails. Rather this: Imagine your REPEAT list of questions being read ON AIR by a show like "Americas Most Wanted"? How are you going to explain yourself?

A BS is physical education and a teaching certificate - and being CPR trained will be a must too.
