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.

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!

Awesome Instructor!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.A aron 753 years agoI attended the Skills Session on January 24th in Minneapolis. The instructor was phenomenal! He went above and beyond just the skills and explained in detail WHY things are done the way they are. It was also helpful that he had real-world experience in the medical field and has been emergency situations. I was required to attend this training for my job and was not enthused about going, however, it turned out to be extremely interesting and I would recommend this training to anyone!

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.

Highly reccommend
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.MNlakesgirl896 days agoI was very happy to do a hybrid class. This is the 5th time that I've certified for First Aid / CPR/ AED for adults and pediatrics, including certifying as a lifeguard twice. Needless to say, I've gone over the material many times previously. I was able to review, learn what has changed, and practice my rusty skills. Even with the Red Cross facility dealing with a state of emergency, by supporting nearby counties dealing with storms, we had plenty of room and time.

Good hybrid course, but allow for long online part
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.foodsummercamp3 weeks agoThe at-home portion took a LOT longer than I had anticipated (4.5 hours!), but it was informative and helped me feel knowledgeable about a variety of potential crises and appropriate responses. I hadn't renewed my first aid certification in a number of years, so was grateful for the comprehensive refresher. The in-person portion was solid, and we completed the tasks for final certification.

Excellent instructor
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Lasher35 years agoI have taken this course a total of 15 times in my 30-year career as an early childhood educator. Gerald made the class engaging and allowed time for the other professionals in my course to network and share our experiences and knowledge with one another. It was the first time it did not feel like a long day.

Wonderful Instructor
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.brookebtb3 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!

So this was an excellent start to see how nervous I might be! Thank you so much Salvation Army.
