People need to know what to do in an emergency before medical help arrives. Since you may be faced with an emergency in your lifetime, it's important that you know how to recognize an emergency and how to respond. The intent of these American Red Cross courses is to help lay and professional responders feel more confident in their ability to act appropriately in the event of an emergency.
You may be taking these courses because you feel a need to learn what to do if faced with an emergency. You may also be taking these courses because of a job (whether as an employee or volunteer) requirement specifying that you complete training and achieve a specific level of competency on both skill and written evaluations. In either case, the American Red Cross provides a course completion certificate. You will be eligible to receive a certificate if you--
- Perform required skills competently and demonstrate the ability to make appropriate decisions for care.
- Pass a final written exam(s) with a score of 80 percent or higher for each section.
In addition to the first aid/CPR/AED programs chosen by thousands of people across the nation, the Red Cross has launched Together We Prepare. This important program helps families, schools, workplaces and communities prepare for emergency situations.
American Red Cross health and safety training is the complete emergency preparedness solution that's smart for your employees and your bottom line as well. With comprehensive, flexible programs, Red Cross training helps employees stay prepared for virtually any life-threatening situation.
Generations of Americans have relied on the Red Cross for the best in health and safety training. We're a name you can trust today and in the future.
