AED Certification in Seattle

Understanding how, and when to use an automated external defibrillator (AED) can empower you to save a life. That's why the American Red Cross offers AED classes in Seattle and across the country. With the option to learn online, in person or take a blended Simulation Learning class, which combines online coursework with hands-on skills sessions, you can be prepared to deliver care when it's needed most.

Because every minute counts when care is needed, we offer our Seattle AED certification classes at a range of times, and in a variety of locations, all year long. Delivered by trained experts, our courses include lecture materials, as well as hands-on training to help you become comfortable with how and when to use external automated defibrillators. After successful completion of an in-person course or blended Simulation Learning class, you'll receive full certification that's valid for two years, as well as access to online refresher materials to help keep your memory, and your skills, sharp.

The Red Cross not only offers Seattle AED classes for individuals, but we also deliver industry-leading AED training for those who work in healthcare. Whether you're a first-responder, CNA, nurse or doctor, our training opportunities allow you to learn the latest information and proven techniques.

To help you maintain your credentials, and learn the latest information and techniques, we offer a number of Seattle AED training classes designed specifically for those whose certifications are about to expire, or are within 30 days of expiring. These courses are abbreviated and result in full certification that's valid for two more years.

If you don't often use the skills you've learned in our AED classes in Seattle, it's easy to forget how and when to use an automated external defibrillator. In order to keep your memory fresh, we've created a printable document that outlines the steps necessary for providing life-saving care. This way, you can keep the instructions in a binder, on your refrigerator, at your desk or in your bag, and refer to them from time to time so that you're ready to help when it's needed most.

In order to give you the information you need to provide care to someone in need, our Seattle AED classes also include instruction on, and certification in, first aid and CPR. And although these classes offer a wide range of information, they take just a few short hours to complete. In addition, our in-person and Simulation Learning courses on AED, first aid and CPR are OSHA compliant and result in full certification, which is valid for two years.
