Class Description

The Adult First Aid/ CPR/AED class focuses on skills helping adults, children and infants.


The purpose of the courses in the First Aid/CPR/AED program is to help participants recognize and respond appropriately to cardiac, breathing and first aid emergencies to know how to care for a suddenly injured or ill person until more advanced medical personnel arrive and take over.


This class is a Blended Learning Class which gives students the ability to do most of the training online then attend an in-person session to test their skills.


Online Portion

The online portion can range from 30 minutes to 3 hours long depending on technology limitations and familiarity with the skills. Participants will receive a training link in an email after they booked a class. Participants must have online portion completed before coming into scheduled in-person session.


In-Person Instructor Led Portion

The in-person session is typically 1 hours and 30 minutes long. The in-person session will review:

  • Adult CPR using an AED

  • Adult First Aid Choking

  • Giving First Aid to a victim experiencing life threating bleeding.


Classes are open to the general public or can be privately scheduled on-site.


Certificates

Participants who successfully complete the online and in-person portions will receive an American Red Cross Certification in Adult & Pediatric First Aid/CPR AED r.21. Certificates are valid for two years and will be issued in about one business day after the in-person class. Certificates are delivered via e-mail and can be found on the Red Cross Website.

What is the difference between American Red Cross CPR and American Heart Association (AHA) CPR?

Both trainings are very similar since they are both based on the 2010 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) Science with Treatment Recommendations (CoSTR). Differences exist because The Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council uses CoSTR to understand the science independent of the AHA.
