Blended Learning Format
This course is offered in a blended learning format, combining interactive online instruction with in-person, hands-on practice. The online modules introduce key concepts and prepare students for the in-person skills session, where they’ll apply what they’ve learned through role-playing and team exercises.
Next Steps After Registration
After registering, your instructor will email you to confirm class details and provide your enrollment link for the American Red Cross Learning Center. You’ll use this link to access the online learning portion, which must be completed before attending the in-person session. The instructor’s email will also include information about the class schedule, location, and what to bring on the day of training.
At North Texas CPR Training, our goal is to help every participant feel capable, confident, and ready to keep the children in their care safe and happy.
