Perfect transition to high levels of service
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.AndiF4 years agoI had completed the CPR/AED/First Aid instructor course, and I needed to add the Bridge to train different levels of staff. This was a simple and effective way to upgrade my certification. Access to course materials were made available once I uploaded my current Instructor Cert. You will need to poke around to find the resources needed for the course. Give yourself some time for preparation to train the course as there is a learning curve involved. Nothing too complicated, but it will require a ... bit of effort and time to navigate the Red Cross system. It is easy to master. The search bar works wonders.

Great Features, easy to follow
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Gibby68864 years agoI did this class as a Instructor Bridge Over from AHA Instructor. Also completed the BLS, First Aid/CPR/AED, and CPR/AED. I understand completing all the classes, but once I down load the AHA Instructor Credentials, I feel this should only be done once, not every class. Besides, I had to have a sign in and password before I could start. I didn't have to develop a new one for all three classes I took as a Bridge Over. With my account I feel the information should be saved to my account so it ... does not take as long to complete the requirements for the Bridge Over
