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 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.

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.

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.

Great Red Cross Training
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.JBVJ3 weeks agoThe enrollment process was facilitating and the person who handled my change in schedule was extremely helpful and professional. The online portion of the training was well done. The presentations were sequential, informative, and comprehensive. I appreciated the features of unlimited time, pre-testing, and review. Our in-person trainer was competent, on task, and humorous. She summarized procedures succinctly and offered practically recommendations. She made the class fun.

Mixed bag
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.perkypika2 weeks agoOnline portion was great. Although the quizzes were tedious since they took so many clicks. Would be better to give all the questions at once and let the student answer all of them and then give results. Much fewer clicks that way. The in-person class started out horrible since the female instructor simply read every word of the slides. And she even stumbled over many of the words and did not seem to understand the concepts whatsoever. She seemed rather confused as to what she was supposed to ... be teaching. But then the male instructor helped out and he was extremely knowledgeable with lots of experience. So glad he was there.

Great Instructor Ever!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.KatLash1 week 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!

Some hiccups.
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Dmugs3 weeks agoMy company signed me up for the class. A little frustrating when the class was canceled after I had begun the online training portion. My company resigned me up and I was able to complete the course. Though the online portion was a little deceptive on how long that portion would take. The in class portion went a lot smoother. I appreciated the instructor trying to keep it light with a little humor.
