The purpose of the courses in the First Aid/CPR/AED program is to help participants recognize and respond appropriately to cardiac, breathing, and first aid emergencies; to know how to care for a suddenly injured or ill person until more advanced medical personnel arrive and take over. The program offers the flexibility of selecting First Aid, CPR, and AED courses for adults, children, and infants

depending upon your training needs. 

The First Aid/CPR/AED program is available in a blended learning format, featuring adaptive learning functionality, followed by an in-person skills session.

The purpose of the Basic Life Support (BLS) program is to ensure that healthcare providers have the knowledge and skills necessary to respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies. The course emphasizes active, hands-on learning and uses scenario activities to help participants learn how to provide CPR, use an AED, and relieve an obstructed airway for adult, child, and infant patients.

The American Red Cross Advanced Life Support (ALS) course provides participants with the knowledge and skills they need to assess, recognize and care for patients who are experiencing a cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, or respiratory emergency. The course emphasizes providing high- quality patient care by integrating psychomotor skills, rhythm interpretation, electrical interventions, and pharmacologic knowledge with critical thinking and problem solving to achieve the best possible patient outcomes.

The Advanced Life Support program is available in a blended learning format, featuring adaptive learning functionality, followed by an in-person skills session.

The CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers (CPRO) program trains individuals with a duty to act including lifeguards, police, security personnel, firefighters, and athletic trainers — to respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies in adults, children, and infants until more advanced medical personnel take over.

This course is also intended for individuals serving in roles that would be called upon to provide support in emergency situations, such as aquatic facility, gym/fitness club, or community/recreation center staff.

The Wilderness and Remote First Aid program is designed to teach individuals how to use first aid skills to help in emergency situations where help is delayed. The program is based on the 2010 Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Wilderness First Aid Curriculum and Doctrine Guidelines. The Wilderness and Remote First Aid program is appropriate for audiences from youth-serving organizations as well as adults who participate in outdoor recreational activities or who work in remote settings where emergency medical services (EMS) response is more than 1 hour away.

The Wilderness and Remote First Aid program emphasizes experiential learning and major portions of the course are meant to be taught in outdoor settings.

What stops bleeding? In a STOP THE BLEED® course, you’ll learn three quick techniques to help save a life before someone bleeds out: (1) How to use your hands to apply pressure to a wound; (2) How to pack a wound to control bleeding; (3) How to correctly apply a tourniquet. These three techniques will empower you to assist in an emergency and potentially save a life.  

Our instructors will teach you live—in person, using training materials specially developed to teach bleeding control techniques. They will not only instruct you, they will be available to check your movements as you practice three different bleeding control actions. They will keep working with you until you demonstrate the correct skills to STOP THE BLEED® and save a life.

FAST is the first national STOP THE BLEED® course designed specifically for high school students, but anyone can take the course and benefit from the training.

You can save a life: Preparing for bleeding emergencies; recognizing that a bleeding emergency exists; emergency action steps; deciding to act in an emergency.

Safety in emergency situations: Keeping yourself safe in an emergency; helping others to safety; violent situations.

Communicating in emergency situations: Communication basics; communicating with others at the scene; communicating with the emergency dispatcher.

Caring for a person with life-threatening bleeding: Using pressure to stop bleeding; applying direct pressure; using a tourniquet; after the bleeding stops.

The Responding to Emergencies (RTE) program is a semester-long lay responder program designed to help participants recognize and respond to cardiac, breathing and first aid emergencies. The courses in this program teach the knowledge and skills needed to give immediate care to an injured or ill person and to decide whether advanced medical care is needed. 

This program is designed primarily for use in secondary schools, colleges, universities and other settings that require a curriculum of greater length than the American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED program. With the additional course length, RTE provides more in-depth lecture and discussion content as well as extended time for skill activities such as giving CPR and using an AED. 

RTE is perfect for high school and college-level students in Health and Physical Education, Kinesiology, Exercise and Sports Science and Athletic Training departments to learn to handle the full range of emergencies, large and small!
