kylenga: The Red Cross does offer a Blood Borne class. As far as I have heard it is short and not specific to the body modification industry. There is also a Blood Borne class for our industry offered by PPIS in California. I personally have taken the Health Educators class for the last 4 years consecutively and it has been a huge eye opener and the bodmod industry specific manual that accompanies the class has been a really great educational resource. I highly recommend it if you work in the industry and especially if in my case if you are a suspension practitioner. To be fair as well the PPIS class i have not personally attended but have heard good things about it.
Mud: Health Educators travels the world over. The certification is required in some countries to work in some its recommended, however legislation changes all the time.

Mud: also forgot to mention, I know many Canadian practitioners that have traveled to the US to take the class at conventions and vice versa.

I’ve taken both the regular quickie BBP class, and the full day (8 hours or so) class by David Vidra. The breadth of information given out at David’s class is invaluable to even the most experienced artist. The quickie class may be 1/2 the price, but it’s not even a quarter of the length time-wise, and you learn nothing that a piercer/tattoo artist just out of an apprenticeship doesn’t already know.
