Requirements for Red Cross First Aid - AED/CPR - Adult Class?

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a age limit for the class I listed above.
I am 13 years old , and was in a red cross GuardStart class
(a class that teaches basic first aid / CPR skills and lifeguard skills.)
However the class doesn't certify me. And for people that took the class, any tips?
Thanks :)

1. You must be 18 to become certified with most associations, but you can always call your local Red Cross to find out when their next class will begin.

2. My local chapter doesn't have an age limit for that class. I suggest you find our from your local chapter - head to http://www.redcross.org to get contact info.

3. I am a CPR instructor, and i am not aware of any limits for age.
