TACOMA, Wash., Thursday, 12/6/2012 — Each year, nearly 4 million people learn how to save a life in American Red Cross First Aid and CPR/AED training classes. People in Olympia can take advantage of special offers now through January 31, 2013.
“Emergencies occur every day, but with travel, extra stress and large gatherings, people are even more susceptible to accidents and illnesses during the holidays,” said Tracy Peacock, Chapter Executive, Mount Rainier Chapter. “Make sure your family and household members have the skills and confidence to act in an emergency until help arrives.”
First Aid and CPR/AED Training
People can save 20 percent on the price of a First Aid and CPR/AED course. Participants learn how to perform CPR and use an AED, what to do if someone is choking, and how to prevent and respond to other emergencies. How to control bleeding as well as how to care for seizures and other sudden illnesses are also covered.
Red Cross First Aid and CPR/AED training helps meet OSHA standards and professional licensure requirements. Courses are offered in traditional classroom and blended learning formats.
