Meet JJ Dupuy,  General Manager, Hamilton Walker's
I gained a vast and clear understanding of how foods are to be received, stored, cooked and held in order
to combat less than perfectly safe procedures and food service. This knowledge will be implemented
throughout our training of staff upon opening and of all future staff members. As Champaign's premiere
seafood and steakhouse, we are charged with a huge responsibility to our guests and staff alike.
Others who may be considering these classes should not hesitate to enroll and although required,
they should understand that these classes are intended to educate and explain safe food
handling and service. This knowledge will go a long way towards the success of any
restaurant or food service, no matter how large or small the scale of the venue may be.
Parkland College Business Training & Community Education staff
wish JJ continued success!

CPR FAQs
How soon should I register for a CPR
course? Classes fill fast! Your program
deadline will affect your certification needs.
Please contact your program manager for
the deadline. If you choose to complete
option 1, your online certificate of completion is valid for only 60 days. You must
complete the hands-on skills portion within
60 days.
How long is my CPR card valid?
Your card is valid for 2 years.
Do I need a book? Yes. Textbooks are
an integral part of CPR education before,
during, and after the course. You may reuse
your textbook during renewals or updates
until new science guidelines are published.
When will I receive my CPR Card?
It typically takes 2 to 3 weeks to process. If
you need proof sooner, your instructor can
issue you a temporary card upon successful
completion of the course.
