    How Online CPR/AED Classes Work

    The American Red Cross Adult CPR/AED online course allows you to complete all your training virtually. This means that you will not have the opportunity to demonstrate your skill proficiency to a certified instructor, and therefore may not meet requirements for workplace safety certification. If you would like to demonstrate your skills to an instructor – and receive full certification in CPR/AED – please register for a blended Simulation Learning or a classroom-based course.

    The Adult CPR/AED online course from the American Red Cross are easy to access and complete. All that you'll need is the desire to learn, internet access, and a compatible device – like a laptop or desktop computer. Simply sign up for a course. Once your registration is complete, you can begin your class at any time.

    Red Cross online safety classes are divided into several interactive modules, which can be taken in virtually any order. And with unlimited two-year access to the course materials, you can take your class on your schedule – whether that means taking all of the modules in a single afternoon or reviewing them over time – it's all up to you.

    Why Train With the Red Cross

    Red Cross CPR/AED Training Saves Lives

    Reid Heiser, Life Saver
    One week after 17-year-old Reid completed his Red Cross CPR training, he needed to use it. In November 2011, Reid saved the life of Jim Hammer after he collapsed at the recreation center where Reid worked. Now friends, they share their story.
