CPR, AED and First Aid

This course trains participants on skills from the American Red Cross for Adult and Pediatric First Aid, CPR and AED. All participants who register will need to complete a 2.5 hour online course prior to the two-hour in-person skills check. The online course walks participants through lifesaving steps in many different situations to ensure a base knowledge is met. The in-person skills check ensures the physical portion of the certification can be met. Questions? Email us at campusrec@uwrf.edu.
