ANNOUNCING BLENDED LEARNING
LIFESAVING SKILLS ARE JUST A CLICK AWAY WITH AMERICAN RED CROSS WEB-BASED BLENDED LEARNING
CONVENIENT, FLEXIBLE TRAINING
The first portion of the training is completed online, so each course participant can take the training from any PC (Windows-based) computer with Internet access. For the second part of the training, a Red Cross instructor will conduct the approximately two-hour skills check with course participants.
INDIVIDUALIZED LEARNING
American Red Cross Web-based learning is flexible and self-paced. Unlike training with a group, participants can learn at their own pace, allowing them to stop and review infor- mation whenever necessary to ensure that they completely understand the instruction. Course takers have the option of going through the lessons in full or abbreviated form and can test out of lessons as well.
ORGANIZATIONS WITH SPECIFIC TRAINING NEEDS can combine any of the following course options to build their training program:
*First Aid *CPR -- Adult, Child and Infant CPR
*Automated External Defibrillation (AED) -- Adult and Child
