For more than a century, the Red Cross has been the go-to source for information, skills, and confidence to act in an emergency.​

Definitions:

Instructor-Led: Led by best-in-class instructors, our in-person courses combine lecture with hands-on skills sessions. Created for those who learn best in a traditional classroom setting, our in-person classes give you the time you need to learn the information presented, ask questions and become comfortable with the hands-on skills you'll need to pass your course. There is no pre-work that needs to be completed prior to the class date, as all materials will be covered in class.

Blended Learning: Using a combination of self-paced, interactive online coursework and in-person skill sessions, our blended learning program gives you the ability to train on your schedule, improve your decision-making skills, learn the latest science-based protocols, then demonstrate your skills to a certified instructor. Both portions (online coursework and in-person skills) need to be completed to be certified. Due to the hybrid nature of this format, the in-person classroom time requirement tends to be shorter.
