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.

Happy to recommend
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.gifflinda3 years agoI had originally registered for an in-person class that was ultimately canceled. In order to recertify in time, I registered for the online class. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was impressed. The "Missions" were well done, and I was able to watch them a second time for reinforcement. I then went for my in-person skills testing. My instructor was great. She reviewed the highlights and ran us through a practice run before we tested. I am happy to recommend this class.

First Aid/AED/CPR course
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.One Eye Dog3 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.

Wonderful Instructor
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.brookebtb1 week 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!

Salvation Army first aid, cpr, aed clasd
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Hoolie1 week agoThis was a helpful and efficiant class overall. I just usually don’t give 5 stars to anyone. It got me to focus and pay attention and this is what I need in this hectic world. I would like to make this a yearly event. I’m trying to renter the workforce, possibly taking classes. So this was an excellent start to see how nervous I might be! Thank you so much Salvation Army.

A great tool to have in case of an emergency!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.VA teacher2 weeks 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.

Nice and informative
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.MNPerson2 weeks agoSuper helpful and enjoyed the class. The only thing is that these classes can run long (past the scheduled time) so it is tough when you have meetings afterwards and need to rush to work. I know it is tough to stay on schedule and many of the people didn’t stay because they did not complete the online portion.

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!

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.
