Red Cross Training in Arkansas

CPR Training

Red Cross CPR classes can help you deliver life-saving care during a breathing or cardiac emergency. With a variety of techniques covered, including hands-only, traditional CPR (hands and rescue breathing), and rescue breathing only, as well as training on how to perform CPR on adults, children and infants, we'll prepare you to provide care when it's needed most. To earn your certification, check out the adult and pediatric CPR classes available in Arkansas.

The Red Cross offers CPR renewal classes, as well as CPR recertification courses, in Arkansas. These courses allow you to refresh your memory, renew your skills and stay up to date on the latest techniques. Our CPR renewal courses are designed for those whose credentials are still valid but near expiration. These classes are delivered in less time than standard CPR classes, and allow you to maintain certification for an additional two years. If your CPR certification has lapsed, you'll need to register for a full-length CPR class in order to maintain certification. Find a recertification class or a CPR renewal course in Arkansas, and get training you need to maintain your credentials.

BLS Training

At the Red Cross, BLS classes in Arkansas are available to healthcare workers and public safety professionals. These classes can be taken in two ways: In person or via our blended Simulation Learning. In person BLS training takes place entirely in person, with classmates and an instructor. This type of class provides you with ample time to explore topics, ask questions and learn all of the care techniques addressed in class. For those who choose Simulation Learning, the same information will be taught in an online environment, but interactive discussion won't be possible. Once the "lecture" portion of the class is complete, you'll join an in-person skill session where you'll demonstrate your BLS skills to a certified instructor. Both courses, once complete, result in full certification.

Red Cross Basic Life Support (BLS) classes in Arkansas are designed for healthcare providers and public safety professionals who deliver critical care to the public during times of crisis. Our BLS training allows students to develop a wide range skills and earn a number of important certifications, including scene safety and assessment, CPR and AED use, obstructed airway, and more. In addition, if you choose to take your Arkansas BLS certification classes as a crew or team, we can work with you to include your local protocols during the class, for a custom learning experience.

AED Training

Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) seem to be virtually everywhere - in schools and offices, airports, sports stadiums, boutiques and malls. But do you know how and when to use one? If the answer is no (or even if it's maybe), then it's time to sign up for AED classes in Arkansas. After all, the average response time for first responders once 911 is called is 8 to 12 minutes - and for each minute defibrillation is delayed, the chance of surviving sudden cardiac arrest reduces by approximately 10%. Fortunately, with CPR/AED training in Arkansas, you can gain the skills necessary to help save a life. Find a class in your area, and be prepared to help.

Whether you need full, OSHA-compliant certification or simply want to gain the skills and confidence necessary to help save a life, we offer a variety of Arkansas AED classes that can help you get the training you need. With courses available during the day, evening, and on weekends, and available online, in person, or via our blended Simulation Learning experience, which combines online coursework with an in-person skills session, you can earn your Arkansas AED certification, and learn how to provide critical care during sudden cardiac arrest.

Note: If you need OSHA-compliant certification, only in-person and Simulation Learning courses satisfy the requirements for full certification.

First Aid Training

At the Red Cross, first aid training in Arkansas is available in three ways - online, in-person, and via our Simulation Learning experience, which combines online coursework with in-person skills sessions. This way, you can learn your way - and take classes that suit your schedule. If you need an OSHA-compliant certification, only in-person and Simulation Learning courses satisfy OSHA requirements. However, if full-certification isn't required by your job or a volunteer organization, online-only courses may suit your needs.
