Do you have current certification in First Aid and CPR?
This question is pretty basic, considering it's either a yes or no answer. The interviewer would like to see you elaborate on details such as when you received your certification and when your certs are up for renewal. Be sure to bring your certificates with you so that the hiring authority can make copies for your candidate file.
If you are not certified, express that you are willing to obtain this certification on your own time. Allied Universal may put you through the training once hired; however, it's nice to offer as this shows enthusiasm and initiative.
"I hold a valid certification in both First Aid and CPR. My certs are valid for another two years. I did bring them with me so that you can make copies for your records."
"After reading in the Allied Universal job posting that you require valid First Aid and CPR certification, I registered to take these courses at the community college. The first course begins in three days, so I am happy to say that I will soon be certified. I also registered for AED training, as that goes hand in hand with CPR."
If First Aid and CPR certification is required, Allied Universal will mention that in the job description. If these certifications are required, focus on obtaining the training before your interview.
