FIRST AID/CPR/AED CERTIFICATIONS
Our American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED courses teach participants to recognize and care for a variety of first aid emergencies such as burns, cuts, scrapes, sudden illnesses, head, neck, back injuries, heat and cold emergencies and how to respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies. The adult & pediatric course certifies participants to help victims of any age - adults (about 12 years and older) and pediatric (infants and children up to 12 years of age). Upon successful completion, participants will receive a Red Cross certification valid for 2 years.
