Regardless of how you train, once your course is complete, you'll be able to provide someone with the life-saving care they need, when they need it most.

When someone suffers a sudden cardiac emergency, his or her chances of survival are reduced by approximately 10% for each minute that defibrillation is delayed. And with the average response time of first responders once 911 is called registering at between 8 and 12 minutes, you can see that knowing how to use an AED is critical. That's why the American Red Cross offers a range of options for AED training in Glendale. With online-only and in-person classes, plus our blended Simulation Learning, we make it easy to get the training you need to help in times of crisis.
