Where Can I Get First Aid, CPR and AED Training?

There are several first aid, CPR and AED training options. Depending on the training organization you choose, training is available online, in a training facility or at your workplace.

Many providers also offer blended first aid, CPR and AED training, which mixes online and in-person instruction.

If you choose online-only training, keep in mind that it won’t allow you to demonstrate your skills before a certified instructor. This does not meet OSHA requirements and may not meet training standards for your workplace. Check your workplace policies to find out if online training alone meets their safety standards. ^[1]

How much do First Aid, CPR and AED training classes cost?

First Aid, CPR and AED training costs range by type of class, and by provider. Generally, costs range from $50 to $185 per training class.

Choosing the Most Appropriate Training Classes for Your Employees

Carefully evaluate any first aid, CPR or AED training provider before signing up for classes, and choose a reputable provider. American Red Cross and American Heart Association classes are among the top trusted training courses.

While choosing the most appropriate training classes for your employees, it’s important to know the type of support you’ll get after training. Top training providers offer reference materials, ongoing support options and refresher training reminders.
