Red
Cross Now Offers CEUs for CPR, First Aid
Posted 19 November 2008
The American Red Cross of the Tri-States is now
offering Continuing Education Credits (CEU’s) for completing its CPR,
First Aid and other qualifying training courses.
Red Cross has been approved as an Authorized Provider of Continuing
Education by The International Association for Continuing Education and
Training (IACET).
The approval comes after an extensive application and vetting process
of the American Red Cross and its courses by the organization, which
was created in 1968 to ensure that education providers meet strict
continuing education guidelines.
Certification by IACET means that nurses, social workers, recreation
professionals, teachers and day care providers among others, can gain
or maintain their license or certification by taking Red Cross courses
in a variety of subjects, and obtaining Continuing Education Credits
(CEUs) for them. It also distinguishes the American Red Cross from
other training providers.
Among the courses eligible for continuing education credits are First
Aid and CPR/AED, Lifeguarding and Water Safety Instructors, Safety
Training for Swim Coaches, Disaster Instructor Specialty Training, and
courses on International Humanitarian Law.
These classes are being offered at local chapters of the American Red
Cross. Once training has been completed, continuing education units may
be obtained online at www.redcross.org/store . Class participants
should verify with their appropriate accrediting organization that CEUs
received from taking Red Cross courses will be accepted.
For more information, contact your local chapter of the American Red
Cross, or to find the chapter nearest you, log on to www.redcross.org
