Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be certified in American Red Cross Lifeguarding & First Aid as well as Adult, Child & Infant CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer. Both certifications remain valid for 2 years. Since all participants will access their workbooks online, participants will need to provide an email address in order to be granted access to the materials on the Red Cross website.
