CPR and First Aid Training

The purpose of the American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED Certification Program is to give individuals the knowledge and skills necessary to prevent, recognize, and provide basic care for injuries and sudden illness until advanced medical personnel arrive and take over.

All classes are held in the Campus Recreation Center conference room, located on the 2nd floor.

Pre-registration and pre-payment is required for all classes. To sign-up, visit the Campus Recreation Center Entry Desk or call 351-2020. For more information about specific classes, call Tricia Tort at 351-2068.

Certification Challenges

The purpose of a challenge course is to give individuals the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge and skill competency outside a formal class setting. Participants have sole responsibility for preparing for the knowledge and skill evaluations. Individuals who hold current American Red Cross Universal Certificates may take a challenge course as long as their certificates remain valid, or within 30 days after expiration.

Challenge courses cost $15.00 per certification. Please refer to the class schedule for course dates.

cancellation policy

If you pre-registered for a class and need to cancel, refunds will be provided, less a $15 cancellation fee, for cancellations that occur at least 48 hours in advance. Individuals who fail to attend without prior notice or cancel within 48 hours before a scheduled class will not receive a refund.
