    FAQs

    Why take a CPR/AED class?

    With nearly 300,000 cardiac arrests happening outside hospitals each year and survival chances dropping by about 10% with every minute without defibrillation, taking an AED class can make a difference when moments matter. Red Cross AED training, combined with CPR, in New York equips you with simple, proven skills to recognize emergencies, act quickly and confidently and use an AED to help save lives.

    What is the best way to learn to use an AED?

    • In-person courses in New York include instructor-led lecture with hands-on skills practice in a traditional classroom setting.
    • Blended learning courses combine self-paced online training and in-person skills sessions.
    • Online courses are self-paced and cover a variety of emergency response scenarios. This option does not include in-person skills verification and may not meet workplace requirements.

    How long is the CPR/AED training course?
