Taking a CPR/AED and First Aid on the 9th

[VWtype2]

The class was $90- here in Vancouver,WA through the Red Cross. I have some Red Cross books that I have been reading and I'm excited to take the 7 hour course. Hopefully this will help me in a new career.

I'm taking the same class for the same price here in Florida on the 26th. Looking forward to the refresher.

For $90 you think the Red Cross would ATLEAST give you a handbook. No written test,and some lady was so big she couldn't even get on the floor to perform CPR. Oh and she passed the course


It was a joke. Skipping 30 pages at a time. The kicker!!!


Red Cross DOES NOT recommend to look for pulses anymore. WTF? So anyways I am still pretty useless to the public (BUT I still passed) I don't feel comfortable at all dealing with a hurt/injured person.

Most questions asked the answer was "Call 9-1-1"

When I signed up on-line, I had the option to down load the handbook. It is 12 pages of the basics. If it is your first class, it is a good place to start. The hard part is finding a more comprehensive class.

Which ARC course did you take? There are different levels to accommodate the needs of different audiences. I prefer, and teach, the AHA curriculum(s). Take the AHA Healthcare Provider course.

It was "Adult CPR/AED and First Aid" in one day 5.5 hours. I am all for technology,but I like to be able to have the info in book form (My cell last's maybe an hour if I am using youtube/scanning the web on it) I took the Red Cross because most companies are familiar with the logo,and won't second guess the training.

Just felt like we scanned through the day flipping page to page.

I didn't see any rating on the course itself. (IE. Beginner/Advanced)

Called an old book store on Main street in town. They have 3 handbook's and a teacher's aid book. I told them to hold all 4 for me. I am going to look at them tomorrow. At $6 buck's a pop what can I lose?

Bought 3 of the 4.
