Are you CPR and First Aid certified?
Keep your response brief as this is a very straightforward question. If you are CPR and First Aid certified, be sure to bring proof of your certification with you to the interview. If your certificates are expiring soon, let the interviewer know that you have plans to renew them. If you are not certified, it's best that you offer to become certified, at your own expense, before their desired hire date. Being proactive like that will say a lot about your work ethic.
"I am not currently CPR or First Aid certified; however, I have researched options close to me and have found a couple of courses that begin next week. I am eager to work for V.Ships Leisure and will do what it takes to be a viable candidate."
"I have valid CPR and First Aid certifications which I have brought with me today. Would you like to take a copy for my candidate file?"

Awesome! The interviewer will be happy to hear this. Can you talk more about when you received these certifications and why you chose to get them?
