Using an AED

Using an AED

Being able to provide help to anyone at any time is a powerful thing. That's why, at the Red Cross, AED classes are designed to teach you how to use an automated external defibrillator on both kids and adults. This way, you can provide care - no matter where you are or who the "patient" may be. Unfortunately, unless you take actions to retain your skills, you're likely to forget how and when to use an AED. So, to help you stay prepared we offer online refresher materials that allow you to test your skills as often as you'd like. We also provide you with access to a printable list of the basic steps for using an AED that you can keep at your desk, in your first aid kit, and more - and review them at any time.

It happens…always unexpectedly

Boba123 · 16 hours ago

I have done this on-line class 3 times now (6 years). Do I need to ? I don’t NEED to but as easy and instructive as Red Cross makes this why wouldn’t I? I never felt like I could be of any help to anyone until I took this course. Have I used it? Yes! Once. In Church a large gentleman just fell to the ground behind me. It happens. I recommend this to every person.

High-quality training helps fill gaps in knowledge

I was just so impressed with this training. I needed to refresh my knowledge of First Aid/CPR/AED and this course did just that. I've been certified before, but a lot has changed and I was able to reinforce what I knew before and save time with testing out of those modules and diving in deeper to the ones I didn't do well on. The scenarios at the end brought all the information together as well. The overall quality of the training was excellent.
