Learn first aid online, on your schedule. When you take an online first aid class from the American Red Cross, you can learn the latest skills and techniques for administering care – in a way that won't disrupt your day. Taken entirely online, these courses do not include the opportunity for you to demonstrate skill proficiency to a certified instructor, and therefore may not meet requirements for workplace safety certification. If you must complete a first aid class that allows you to do so, browse our blended Simulation Learning and classroom-based courses.
How Online First Aid Classes Work
Designed for parents and teachers, adults and teenagers, troop leaders, coaches, and more, our online first aid courses allow you to help those in crisis receive care until medical professionals arrive. In order to make learning proper first aid techniques possible, we've developed online courses that can help you help others in their time of need.
To get started, all you need to do is register for a course, then access the materials on a compatible device. (Please read the course description for additional details on compatible devices and/or web browsers.) Once you've registered for a class, you can begin the coursework at any time.
For additional flexibility, we've designed all American Red Cross first aid online courses with highly interactive modules, which you can take in virtually any order. This way, you can truly learn your way. Plus, with unlimited two-year access to the course materials, you can take your time getting through class, or complete all of the modules all at once, then revisit the materials and refresh your skills as needed.

Online first aid classes give you the skills you need to respond to a wide range of emergencies – and can help those in need achieve the best possible outcomes. If you're ready to get started, all you need to do is find a class online or in your area. It takes just minutes to register and a few short hours to earn the certification you want.
CPR training in Arizona takes just a few short hours to complete, but can make all the difference during times of crisis. With convenient in-person, online, and blended classes available, we can help you learn how to provide care in a way that suits your schedule and your learning style.
Developed for those who learn best in a traditional classroom setting, our in-person CPR Training in Arizona gives you access to knowledgeable instructors who will guide you every step of the way. With lecture and hands-on skills sessions, these classes give you ample time to ask questions and become comfortable with the latest techniques.
Simulation Learning courses use a combination of self-paced, interactive online classes and in-person skill sessions. This not only allows you to learn at your own pace online, but gives you the ability to demonstrate your skills at one of the Arizona CPR training classes near you. Once you successfully complete both the online and in-person portions of your class you'll receive full certification.
After you've received your CPR certification, we make it easy to maintain your skills and be ready to help at a moment's notice. With our online refresher activities, which include quizzes, games, and videos, you can keep your skills sharp and your memory fresh long after your CPR training in Arizona has ended.
Stay abreast of the latest protocols for non-invasive treatments, like CPR (one- and two-rescuer), AED, ventilations (including BVM), choking (conscious and unconscious) – and provide the care your patients need, when they need it. All of our Arizona CPR classes for healthcare providers are available in person and via our blended Simulation Learning, which gives you the flexibility to complete coursework online, then demonstrate your skills to a certified instructor. Both types of courses offer full certification that's valid for two years.
After successfully completing your CPR training in Arizona your certification will be good for two years. In order to help you maintain your certification, we offer abbreviated CPR and First Aid renewal classes not only allow you to stay up to date on the latest techniques, but once complete they allow you to extend your certification by two additional years.
All Red Cross classes, including our CPR training in Arizona, are developed under the guidance of and reviewed by the Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council. This 50+ member panel is comprised of nationally-recognized medical, scientific, and academic experts who ensure that Red Cross programs are based on the best science available. In addition, they work to empower people to help by providing best practices are not only effective, but easy to understand.
