The USCG is very picky when it comes to what is printed on your course certificate, and due to a recent change in course requirements for First Aid/CPR, schools have had to change the wording on their course certificates.
The requirements for USCG-approved First Aid and CPR classes were updated to include AED effective December 1, 2023.
