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.

Great teaching
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.sice2 weeks agoI really appreciated the blended learning. I was able to learn the book work at my pace and review it thoroughly before going in to demonstrate the technique. I also really liked that our instructor had real world experience with all of the material and was able to help us think through scenarios where the ideal environment presented in the training videos weren't available (e.g., there is no chair to sit in to give an infant the required back blows and chest compressions or how to help someone ... larger and taller than you.)

Highly recommend!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.mks42 days agoMy instructor on May 2 was amazing! So patient, clear, but very keen on making sure that all participants exhibited mastery of the material and execution of various CPR/First aid skills. He should be promoted if possible (apologies, I don’t remember his name). Great great class! I feel confident in my own ability to provide first aid if ever needed.

FA/CPR/AED Experience
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.VMAN3 weeks agoTook the course as a part of the requirements to receive my USCG OUPV credential. The hands on experience coupled with the instruction helped build my competence and confidence. Also, the instructor’s real world EMT experience added a valuable dimension to the class. I would highly recommend this training experience for everyone.

Amazing knowledgeable instructor great teaching
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Janelis1 month agoI’ve been to at least four other first aid CPR trainings and this is the best one yet. I’m not great with names but I have to say that the teacher was excellent she had a great personality and made everyone feel Comfortable as well as having great knowledge of every subject she taught with ease and the hands on training which I believe is a lot more effective than just talking the whole time or watching a video I definitely would recommend it no matter how Far I went To get this training it was worth it!

Solid work!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.mochafro3 years agoCourse is an excellent introduction to creating a base skillset for basic CPR (for adults adults and pediatric) and First Aid, along with utilizing an AED and knowing how to take action and assess in an emergency setting. The online portion drills in the knowledge and behavior set, and the instructor reinforces said information to teach best practices. The instructor Keith, possessed an encyclopedia of knowledge along with an engaging and warm attitude!

Wonderful Class!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Chad12773 years agoThis class went very well. Jennifer White, the instructor, did an amazing job teaching the course. She is very knowledgeable and represents The American Red Cross well. This was with fifth time taking a CRP/AED/First Aid course and this was for sure my favorite class. It was my first time taking it through the American Red Cross. I learned many new things throughout this class. I also took a First Aid for Opioid Overdose class online a few days after this class and was also very pleased. I plan ... to take one or two more online courses. I help with first aid at my church and I now feel I am more prepared in the event of a medical emergency.

Comprehensive and Engaging First Aid & CPR Trainin
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Mai B1 month agoI appreciate the option splitting training with online and in-person training. The online training was user-friendly and helped me visually understand life-saving steps. Jessica, the instructor, was outstanding—she thoroughly explained each section and was very hands-on. Her teaching style was both informative and motivating, boosting my confidence in administering first aid and CPR. I also liked how she identified individual weaknesses and had us work in groups, making the learning experience ... more personalized and effective.
