American Red Cross CPR/AED/First Aid Certification

Types of certifications we facilitate:

  • Basic Adult CPR/AED and First Aid
  • Basic Adult CPR/AED
  • Basic Adult and Infant CPR/AED and First Aid (coming summer 2025)

All certifications are offered through the American Red Cross certification program.

Cost:

  • CPR/AED and First Aid is $30
  • CPR/AED is $26

The cost for the in-person class must be paid for prior to your scheduled session. This is an American Red Cross fee and cannot be waived. Students must pay at the Cashier's Office located at the ASB (main floor) or through Cashnet. If the student is a BYU employee and their department is paying, the employee does not pay at the Cashier's Office but instead needs to let the instructor know when they come to the in-person session.

Sign-Up Instructions

  1. Sign up for an in-person certification session.
  2. If you are paying the certification fee for yourself, pay it at Cashnet or at the Cashier's Office. Please save a physical or digital receipt of payment.
  3. American Red Cross will email you a link for the online portion of the certification to the email you provided at sign-up. You must take and pass the online test prior to attending the in-person class.
  4. Bring a physical or digital copy of the certificate of completion from the online portion to the in-person class.

In-person Class

The in-person class will be held in the Risk Management Building room 105 at 795 North 500 East on the BYU campus. Please plan on the class taking approximately 1.5 hours.

If you need to have a large group or department certified, please contact Risk Management at 801-422-4468 for a private class.

Certification FAQ

  • If your department is paying for your certification, you don't need to pay through Cashnet. During the In-person class indicate to the instructor (and in the signing sheet) which department is paying. They will need to provide the account codes with the correct Workday tags and their approval.
  • Within 48 hours of signing up, you will receive an email to the email address you provided from "no-reply@train.redcross.org" with the link to the online portion. If you can't find it, check your spam or junk folder. If after 48 hours you have not received it, please call Risk Management at 801-422-4468 and we will help you resolve the issue.
  • After completing the online portion, you will receive an email with the proof of completion from "rclcsfteam@redcross.com". You will need to show that email to your instructor in the in-person class.
  • The online portion will take around 2 hours. The in-person class will last around 1 and a half hours.
  • The American Red Cross certification is valid for a period of two years. There is no renewal process; therefore, re-certification is required at the end of the two-year term.
