First Aid

This class is a hybrid option that combines online coursework with hands-on skills practice. Your selection of this course will cover First Aid, CPR and AED skills, culminating in a two-year Certification through the American Red Cross.

The First Aid training and certification process takes just a few hours to complete and will help you deliver the care that someone needs if and when required.

This class meets OSHA requirements and standards. After successfully completing the online coursework and in-class skills session within 90 days of each other, a 2-year, OSHA-compliant American Red Cross certification will be issued within 24 hours.

What you will receive:

You'll get anytime, anywhere access to your certificates; plus the ability to print, share, and download them wherever and whenever you like. Digital certificates can be viewed, printed or shared online and can be accessed anytime through your Red Cross Account. Each certificate includes a unique ID and a QR code, which meets employment requirements and allows employers to easily confirm your certificate is valid.

Accessing your Certification:

Class participants and employers can visit https://www.redcross.org/take-a-class/digital-certificate and enter the ID found on the digital certificate (or scan the QR code with a standard QR reader using a smart device) to access a copy of the valid certificate with student training information.

AED & CPR

The CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers (CPRO) program trains professional-level rescuers to respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies in adults, children and infants until more advanced medical personnel take over.

This course has been recently updated to current International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) guidelines, including the American Red Cross Aquatic Guidelines and Best Practices. The Aquatic Guidelines and Best Practices are based on the results of scientific evidence evaluations and guideline reviews overseen by the American Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council.

The term professional rescuer refers to those with a duty to act. These professions include EMS professionals, nurses, physicians, CNAs, and other healthcare and public safety personnel, as well as those in the athletic training and recreation fields, including lifeguards. Through these courses we're able to keep you up to date on the latest techniques, so you can maintain certifications and deliver the best possible care in an emergency.

Rapid Assessment

Certified Training for First Responders:

Meeting the Highest Standards of Care In every emergency, seconds count—and so does certified, compliant training. Our American Red Cross certification classes are meticulously designed to meet and exceed Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines, as well as national, state, and municipal regulatory requirements for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) professionals, firefighters, and municipal police officers.

From Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) use to advanced Basic Life Support (BLS) and First Aid protocols, our courses ensure that first responders are not only skilled and confident but also fully aligned with the latest evidence-based practices and legal standards.

Our curriculum is specifically structured to ensure compliance with the requirements of major governing bodies and standard-setting organizations, including:

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, which are often adopted into state law and define the scope of practice for fire service and rescue responders.

State-specific Emergency Medical Services (EMS) treatment protocols, which dictate the lifesaving interventions that pre-hospital providers are authorized to perform.

Local municipal codes and ordinances that govern public safety response and readiness.

Whether your team requires certification for credentialing, medical direction authorization, or general duty readiness, our programs provide the essential validation that personnel are trained to perform at the highest level of proficiency and legal compliance.

Equip your personnel with training that meets rigorous oversight demands and empowers them to save lives with authority and assurance.
