American Red Cross Group Training Classes
If you are looking for a Red Cross Class to be taught at your organization, you can find a local Red Cross expert instructor to come to you. The Red Cross Instructor comes to your location, brings all the equipment and trains your group at a time that is convenient for you. Group CPR and AED Training can be a great way to meet licensing requirements while also providing a bonding experience for your organization. Another benefit to Red Cross classes are that they all include a certification and book for each student. Whereas, other training brands may require these items to be purchased separately.
Red Cross CPR & First Aid classes typically have about 8 students per instructor. For the best classroom experience, it’s typically best to have no more than 16 students and 2 instructors in a class. If you have more than 16 people needing training, you can break them up into groups and offer several classes in a day or over the course of several days.
