The Elizabeth Hanford Dole Chapter of the American Red Cross offers various ways to certify or re-certify for training. Regular courses are great for firstń timers or long-ago certified participants because they offer a “practice-while-you-watch” DVD and handsńon practice. Individual courses are recommended for these participants.
For participants who have been certified in the previous 12 months, review courses save time and combination courses save money.
Another option is the one ńhour “challenge” course. Any person (certified in the past or not), who is totally prepared for written exams and has current skills, can take a “challenge” course. Since no instruction is given, participants must be current on skills since the January 2007 changes. No refunds will be given if one does not pass and is recommended for a full course.
Included in all full courses are discussions about disease prevention and the Good Samaritan Laws.
