Develop the skills and confidence needed to respond effectively in emergency situations through the American Red Cross Adult and Pediatric First Aid, CPR/AED, and Bloodborne Pathogens Certification Course. Offered through Campus Recreation at San Francisco State University, this comprehensive program prepares participants to recognize, prevent, and respond to a variety of medical emergencies involving adults, children, and infants.
This blended learning course combines self-paced online instruction with an instructor-led classroom skills session.
