We Hear Ya! Evening Red Cross First Aid, CPR & AED Review

Today I got a call from a darling lady who was having a very hard time finding an evening Adult First Aid, CPR & AED class, this was not the first time I have heard this. 

So today we sat down and looked over the schedule and decided to do something about it. Albeit it will not be a "full meal deal", we decided to start with a review course to be held in the evening hours once a month on a Thursday. This month its on Thursday July 25th. The course runs three (3) hours, from 5:30pm to 8:30pm. 
Please Note: This course is for persons who hold a current First Aid, CPR, AED card, and need to re-certify.

What is a review course?

The purpose of a review course is to give individuals the opportunity to review the course content within a formal class setting. The format optimizes a participant’s ability to successfully complete the knowledge and skills tests. The responsibility for preparing for the written exam (if requested or required by an employer or state or local regulations) is shared by the instructor and participant.

Each participant will have the opportunity to view the video segments, practice and perform skills for evaluation and complete the written exam(s) for the course(s) being reviewed, if applicable.

This is perfect for those on a tight schedule, and want to keep their days-off open for fun and enjoyment, and not sitting in a classroom all day.

This offering is an experiment. If we fill the classes we will keep it on the schedule, if not, then not.

Class location will be the West Sound office of the American Red Cross in Bremerton, an easy 25 minute drive from Gig Harbor. But wait! Theres more! If your facility has 10-12 students we can bring the training to you!

We would love to hear your thoughts on this type of class.  Do you need a class we don't currently offer, then we would like to hear from you too.
