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.

Great learning module

Great Adult and Pediatric (Child and Baby) First Aid/CPR/AED Online Certification course. I liked being able to test my knowledge prior to accessing the content of each section. That allowed me the opportunity to focus in the specific areas where I fell short while reinforcing what I already knew. The material was clear, well-organized, and easy to follow, with helpful distinctions between adult and pediatric care. The pacing felt right, and the demonstrations were practical and relevant. The segments made it easy to stop and start in the time I had available. The final test measured your reaction time and made it feel realistic. Will definitely recommend this online certification course to others.
