Adult & Pediatric First Aid Training

Program Overview 

The Campus Recreation Department at San Francisco State University offers American Red Cross safety courses. These courses assist participants in obtaining certifications and acquiring essential knowledge for preventing, recognizing, and responding to cardiac emergencies, injuries, and sudden illnesses.

This course involves a blended learning experience, including an online portion and an instructor-led classroom skill session. Upon completing the online portion and the instructor-led classroom skill session, you will receive a digital certificate for the Adult and Pediatric First Aid/C.P.R./A.E.D.
