First Aid Training
Whether you take an instructor-led class, an online course, or take advantage of our blended learning experience, which combines online coursework with instructor-led training, you'll learn from some of the best in the industry. Knowledgeable, understanding and able to deliver information suited to a wide range of learning styles, American Red Cross first aid instructors will help ensure that you not only understand the steps for performing first aid, but that you have the confidence and skills necessary to perform them correctly.
Performing First Aid
At the Red Cross, first aid training prepares you to provide care to children, adults, and pets during times of crisis. However, like many things, if you don't use your skills frequently, they're easy to forget. That's why, when you take our first aid certification classes, you'll also receive free online access to our first aid refreshers and a printable list of the basic steps for performing first aid. This way, you can practice your skills regularly, and keep reminders in the places you might need them most, like in the first aid kit in your car, home, or desk.

Camarillo location rockin it!!!!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Abbey Road4 days agoI needed recertification for my acupuncture licensing application and found a class that was being held near my home the same day I searched. I was able to complete the online training and drive to the skills class all in one day. My teacher was super knowledgeable, funny, kind and engaging. I think his name was Daryl but I’m not sure. He trains lifeguards and made the class useful and enjoyable.

What an amazing instructor!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.YankMedic2 days agoWhat an amazing class! I feel very prepared for an emergency situation, and the instructor (Yankmedic) I dont remember his name but thats his email. He was an amazing instructor, and he went over everything again and again until each member of the CPR class was confident that they could respond in an emergency. He also made the class fun and enjoyable.

Excellent Training
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.CB47583 years agoI very much enjoyed this class and appreciated the instructor's teaching style. I have previously been a CPR instructor and been CPR certified and I believe this is the most entertaining and informative class I have ever taken through the Red Cross. I also appreciate how much safety was emphasised during the class as we are still in a pandemic. The fact that the ARC as a whole and the instructor individually were clear about taking that seriously is something that I am very grateful for. It ... was a very good experience over all.

Love the Blended Learning option!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.NicoleL3 years agoI had never taken a partially online/in person CPR/First Aid training prior to this course. What I needed refreshers on was easily explained via the online portion but the skills in person portion was the best part. The instructor gave awesome scenarios of potential situations to assist participants not only skill building, but also how we may react quickly in a real situation. Highly recommend this course and the instructor!

First Aid/AED/CPR course
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.One Eye Dog4 years agoMy husband and I recently attended the above course given by the Red Cross in St Petersburg, FL. Our instructor was terrific, articulate and extremely knowledgeable. He shared the information quickly in a manner that made time fly. Our day began at 9:00 am and ended at 3:00 p.m. including a lunch break. We had our certificates of completion before we even made it home! We also live on a power catamaran and cruise full time. Having the appropriate first aid tools are vital. We knew most ... of the information, but learned better techniques on how to apply our knowledge.

Made me want to keep learning and practicing
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.GSCa3 years agoThe online portion was a little glitchy at times, but the organization was stepped well, required increasing autonomy to internalize skills while keeping a good amount of support/scaffolding, and in general felt like people who were good instructors designed it. The sections were a good length. The in-person instructor, Randy, was excellent. To the point but also patient, used humor well, and I felt set a high bar for himself and the class while also being extremely supportive. I was actually ... a little disappointed to leave and would like to take further training with him.

Wonderful Instructor
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.brookebtb4 weeks agoMy work offered for me to take a CPR/First Aid course and I assumed it might be hard to sit through, but I was incredibly wrong! My instructor, Victor, was wonderful. He was very thorough and made the information easy to consume. He has a way of conveying such serious matters in an engaging way. I am so glad that he was my instructor!

Great Class
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Ebbs982 months agoI honestly was very nervous going into this class. I never thought that I would pass but here we are with my first aid certification/CPR/AED. The instructor did an incredible job, not only teaching, but guiding us with the tools in the skills that we Will need in the future. This makes me want to sign up for even more classes to get even more skills and certifications. Thank you to the instructor and all the other instructors. We appreciate you guys.
