ahhh that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!

Not an expert but fairly familiar with the process.

I think Good Samaritan laws would cover you if you are not certified and attempting to perform CPR in a life-threatening situation but have heard some anxiety that you are still putting yourself at risk of litigation.

Googling "free CPR class" it seems like there are some results that are under $15 and in some cases, free. So you could look at that.

I feel like I've seen libraries and/or community centers offer free first aid and/or CPR courses in the past. Maybe you want to cajole your local one of those to put one on...with the taxpayer money you have already paid them.
