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.

Really informative
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.MH283 years agoI did the adult and infant CPR/first aid/AED class. I was nervous to go because I have zero experience with any of those things. By the end of the class I had not only gained a lot of information but had practiced a lot of the skills and felt confident that I would be able to help in an emergency situation. The instructor also informed the class about an app that we can use to keep up on our skills which is also really helpful. Overall, I'm very happy that I went to the class.

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!

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.

Just what I needed
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.QIZU3 years agoI'm required to stay up-to-date on certification in AED/CPR/FA for my job, and since my job wasn't allowed to do our normal in-person trainings this year due to COVID, we were all on our own. The online class followed by the 1-year provisional in-person class ended up being perfect for me. Everything I needed to review was covered, and in a way I could easily understand. The instructor for the in-person class was a little cranky at first, but it was early in the morning, so no judgement. He ... ended up covering everything we needed to know very professionally once we actually got started.

Excellent Adult First Aid/CPR/AED-R.21 training.
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Citadel of Hope2 weeks agoExcellent Adult First Aid/CPR/AED-R.21 training. Informative and helpful! Highly recommended! Not sure why the selection of five stars is not holding in each section. Chase Lawrence was well prepared did an excellent job of explaining each of the training segments and illustrating the procedures in each of the categories --- CPR, First Aid and AED.

A good teacher, who knew all of the subjects well
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Chermon3 days agoI thought the class was a good class. The teacher was fine and all of that, but I think a little ttoo much to cram into three hours. I’m used to doing the 9 to 3 type thing for all three of those combined. Had I not done This class multiple times Before, it might’ve been difficult to memorize a lot of of the steps for each task, but I got through it and I’m grateful I did and I want to thank you for my certification update!

A great tool to have in case of an emergency!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.VA teacher3 days agoThis was a very efficient way to brush up on training or to learn for the first time. The learning process was done at my pace (in a few hours) in my home and then the learned skills practiced in person.

Great Instructor Ever!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.KatLash3 days agoI have had Red Cross classes over the years. My instructor was the best I have had so far!. He was thorough, smart, witty, funny, put us at ease, professional. As an older gentleman, he gave us also some good" life gem" advice/ lessons as a bonus. My bad, I forgot his name. I'll never forget what a great, inspiring instructor he has been! Thank you very much Sir, and God bless you!
