Training Fees

In order to continue our programs we must recover as many of our program costs as possible. The fees charged assist in recovering the costs of delivering the training to the community.

Certification

Once you have completed a Red Cross course you will receive a certificate of completion.  To receive this certificate, you must effectively demonstrate your skills to the instructor and score 80% or better on a written exam.  Red Cross CPR certificates are good for one year, First Aid certificates are good for three years and Instructor certificates are good for two years.  Certificates are not issued for Safe Families classes.

Recertification Options

Without repeated use of the skills you learn, your ability to respond quickly and efficiently in an emergency situation diminishes.  The Red Cross recommends you renew your CPR, First Aid and Preventing Disease Transmission certificate(s) by enrolling in a challenge or taking a full course.

Challenges are for people who feel confident they can renew their certificate(s) without retaking a course.  Challenge participants are given a specific block of time to take a written test and demonstrate skills to an instructor without any coaching. 

Regarding Participants' Health & Safety

If on the day of the course, you have a cold, sore throat, cold sores, or any other infectious condition, we ask that you reschedule your training for another time when you are feeling better and can fully benefit from the course content. If rescheduling is not possible, please contact Sue Lober, Director of Health & Safety, so arrangements can be made to accommodate your participation. Also, if you have any medical condition or disability that might prevent you from taking part in these practice sessions, please contact Sue Lober before the day of the training.

Some conditions such as recent surgeries or pregnancy may warrant advice from your doctor as to whether or not you should participate in skill practices at this time.  If you are pregnant, please check with your physician for approval of your participation at this training.

Registration Information

Registrations are taken on a first-come first-serve basis, either by mail or in person.  Payment for a course must accompany registration. Class sizes are limited. If space is not available, the fee will be refunded or applied to another course.

How can I pay?

We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express payments by phone, office, e-mail or mail. Please include credit card number, expiration date, name, address, and telephone number. A receipt will be mailed to sender.

Refund Policy

Cancellation notice must be received 24 hours before the first day of class to arrange for a transfer (within 60 days) or refund.  

No refunds or transfer of class fees will be given to students who are NO SHOWS or do not cancel within the 24 hour time frame.  Students assume the risk of changes in personal affairs or health.

Businesses set up on invoicing plans will be invoiced for their students who are NO SHOWS or are not cancelled within the 24 hour time frame.

The Red Cross may cancel a class if less than six people are enrolled.  If your class is cancelled and you are unable to transfer to another class session, the class fee will be fully refunded.

What to Wear and Books and Supplies

Wear comfortable clothing appropriate for practice sessions, many of which are on the floor. All books and materials you will need are furnished and are included in the class fee.  The books are yours to keep and serve as reference guides.
