Obtain life-saving knowledge and skills designed to keep you prepared in the event of an emergency, with all the latest health and safety training techniques and certification programs. Mason Recreation is utilizing the American Red Cross Blended Learning format for our courses. 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.

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