A professional health instructor, Michael Lydiate contends that this certification will help him offer more well-rounded emergency response education, and help others get their own certifications.


"Emergency response and first aid are a crucial, but often overlooked, part of health education," said Michael Lydiate. "I'm honored to be counted among the American Red Cross' instructors, and I hope that I can use this certification to make emergency response skills more prevalent among my community and the students that I teach."


A long time teacher of health and fitness education as well as a high school soccer coach, Michael Lydiate posits that training in emergency response, including CPR and basic first aid, is crucial for not only those involved in athletics, like coaches, but for all educators. "You never know what could come up in a classroom situation," said Michael Lydiate.
