The online portion of blended learning through the American Red Cross website features adaptive learning with video based interactive scenarios. The online session introduces participants to the knowledge-based aspects of First Aid/CPR/AED as well as the skills they will practice and master during the skills sessions. Participants may complete an optional pre-assessment for each lesson and may "test out" of a lesson which can reduce seat time.
The online session ranges from 25 minutes to 3 hours and 30 minutes, depending on the results of each module's pre-assessments. Participants must be able to print or email proof of completion to the instructor. Proof of course work can also be shown to the instructor using your cellphone. The link for the online course work will be immediately available upon registration in the Additional Documentation when you select the event on the My Events page in your My GS account.
The instructor-led skills session is designed to transition participants from the virtual setting of the blended learning online course to the hands-on skills required to demonstrate competency for certification. Your electronic certificate will be emailed to you by the American Red Cross within 2 weeks after the successful completion of the instructor-led portion of this class.
Girl participants must be at least 12 years old at the time of the session and have a unique email address on their profile in My GS. It cannot be the same email address on the profile of the primary guardian. This is the email address that will be used to create an American Red Cross account to complete the online part of the course. Please contact the Help Desk at the number below if you need assistance in updating the email address for your girl participant.
Event Confirmation Packet/Details: All the details that you need to attend this event can be found in the event confirmation packet. Once it is finalized, you will see it when you go to the My Events page of your My GS account and select the event from the list. All registered participants will also receive a copy via email closer to the event date and after registration closes for the event.
