You might check with your local Red Cross Chapter.

better than ARC, check DAN's website

Scuba Diving Emergency Response Training
Find a local instructor and take the DAN course.

Actually, you are much better off with either the Red Cross or American Heart courses. The DAN course, while a nice primer, is not a recognized CPR course anywhere outside of DAN. Their newer Course, CPR for Healthcare Professionals Meets the guidelines for AHA and ILCOR 2010, but is somewhat (arguably) restricted in who it can be provided to.

First aid, CPR and AED should be offered at the local hospital, park district or LDS. Should only be $40-50. Dive shops will be more expensive but usually focus more on dive injuries. In THe US at least in IL all teachers, coaches need it so often the sports medicine staff are instructors. Red Cross and American heart cover o2 but it is not an o2 certification. It is seperate course. For this check DAN for courses.
