Using an AED

Using an AED

Being able to provide help to anyone at any time is a powerful thing. That's why, at the Red Cross, AED classes are designed to teach you how to use an automated external defibrillator on both kids and adults. This way, you can provide care - no matter where you are or who the "patient" may be. Unfortunately, unless you take actions to retain your skills, you're likely to forget how and when to use an AED. So, to help you stay prepared we offer online refresher materials that allow you to test your skills as often as you'd like. We also provide you with access to a printable list of the basic steps for using an AED that you can keep at your desk, in your first aid kit, and more - and review them at any time.

Amazing visuals, outstanding explanations

Berty · 18 hours ago

I came into the Adult First Aid/CPR/AED training already knowing most of the information, since I have already taken the course before. I very much appreciated the quick quiz I could do if I already knew the material. It helped me see what I was very good at, and what I needed more focus on. It was also very helpful when I did get a question wrong, it would explain in great detail why it was wrong, and what would be correct in the situation. The videos were very helpful, the situations were very realistic so you could see what an actual situation would look like, and not just textbook information on what to do.

Exceptional Instructor, Engaging & Informative!

HisMaican · 22 hours ago

I had an excellent experience completing my Adult First Aid/CPR/AED skills training with Ian! He was knowledgeable, professional, patient, and incredibly engaging throughout the entire session. Ian has a wonderful ability to make important, potentially lifesaving information both educational and entertaining. His thoughtful approach created a comfortable learning environment where participants could ask questions, practice their skills, and feel confident in what they were learning. My only constructive feedback concerns the delayed start of the class, which was through no fault of Ian's. Unfortunately, some participants arrived unprepared to provide verification that they had completed the required online portion of the training. This caused an unnecessary delay that could have been avoided with clearer reminders or verification requirements before attending the in-person skills session. Despite this minor inconvenience, Ian handled everything with professionalism and maintained a positive, welcoming atmosphere. His enthusiasm, patience, and dedication to ensuring that everyone understood the material truly made the experience worthwhile. I would absolutely recommend this training, especially with Ian as the instructor. He is a tremendous asset to the program, and I walked away feeling more knowledgeable, prepared, and confident in my ability to respond to an emergency. Five stars for Ian!
