First Aid Examination: As part of the certification process, school bus and youth bus driver applicants must pass a first aid examination. Applicants may be administered a first aid examination and certified by the American Red Cross or any of the approved providers for school bus drivers listed on the Emergency Medical Services Authority’s (EMSA) website, or by the CHP. You may access EMSA’s web site at emsa.ca.gov/childcare External link . Then scroll down and click on School Bus Driver First Aid Training Programs.
The CHP revised its first aid examination in July 2015.

The manual may be purchased at any American Red Cross online bookstore for a nominal fee, or other bookstores in your area.
