Blended learning opportunity. Mason Recreation is utilizing the American Red Cross Blended Learning format for the weeknight CPR/AED course and all First Aid training. What is blended learning? It is the combination of online study and in person practice. Each participant will be emailed a link with the American Red Cross learning modules. These modules will assist participants in learning the theories and information necessary to move forward with skill practice. The classroom sessions will not re-teach information learned through the module but focus on the physical skills of checking an ill or injured person; CPR; choking; using an AED; caring for wounds; and treating injuries to muscles, bones, and joints. This allows us to shorten class substantially and reduce cost! If this will be your first experience with CPR/AED it is suggested to take the full CPR/AED course (offered on the weekend). Blended learning is a fast pace learning environment best suited for those taking this course for the second (or more) time.

Participants must complete and pass all the modules prior to coming to the in class skills session.
