Skills for Emergencies
We are proud to provide trainings and certifications to help protect our team, neighbors, and community.
First Aid, CPR, and AED Certification
First Aid/CPR/AED Online course equips students to recognize and care for a variety of first aid breathing and cardiac emergencies involving adults children and babies. This course is taught online only (accessed via mobile desktop or tablet) and does not meet OSHA requirements for workplace certification. To receive a valid 2-year Red Cross digital certificate that is OSHA compliant and meets other workplace and regulatory requirements, you must enroll in an instructor-led skill session within 90 days of completing the online course at the YMCA to perform skills and complete training.
Lifeguard Certification
Red Cross training provides participants with flexible training options, improved tools and resources. Our in-person training has a strong focus on practicing the skills needed to prepare, respond and prevent emergencies. Course materials, including a complementary eBook, includes skill videos for lifeguards to review and refresh during and after training.
Participants must register for the Lifeguard Pretest, and pass before being eligible for the certification course.
