Q. Am I able to claim any of these expenses?
A. General answer, No. But, any class (e.g. CPR) given by an "eligible institution" (regular college) is eligible for the Lifetime Learning Credit (LLC), but not the American Opportunity Credit (AOC or AOTC). A course not given by an eligible institution (e.g. Red Cross or YMCA) would no be eligible for a tax break.
