If this is the first time you are taking the course, yes. If you are recertifying, no, it is optional.

Many people improvise a manikin with a pillow and find it sufficient for a refresher.

If you are local to Western Massachusetts, you can pick gear up (if needed) at Wild Med HQ in Montague. If not, we'll send it to you complete with a return label. The cost to ship a manikin is $40 - definitely worth it to be able to do the course completely from home!
