How It Works: Skills Sessions

Once you successfully complete the Adult First Aid/CPR/AED, Adult Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED, or Adult CPR/AED online course, you will have up to 90 days for the skills session to be taken. During this time, you will have access to Red Cross online content so that you can refresh your knowledge before the skills session. After successfully completing a skills session within 90 days, a 2-year, OSHA-compliant Red Cross certification will be issued.
