American Red Cross (ARC) Courses and Training Certifications

American Red Cross Courses

In addition to being an American Heart Association Training Center, Healthline First Aid is also an American Red Cross Licensed Training Provider. As a Red Cross Training Provider, Healthline is licensed by the Red Cross to use and teach Red Cross training courses independently – to use Red Cross courses to train outside customers/companies.

How we teach Red Cross courses!

The Red Cross offers its courses in three ways:

  • Classroom – Classroom courses are 100% instructor-led and satisfy OSHA workplace requirements.
  • Blended (Online + Classroom) – Blended courses offer flexibility by combining the flexibility of online training with an instructor-led skills session. Like classroom courses, blended courses also satisfy OSHA requirements.
  • Online Only – Online-only courses are self-paced and do not require an instructor-led skills session. These courses are a great way to increase a student’s knowledge in specific areas. While most online-only courses do not satisfy OSHA requirements, bloodborne pathogens courses like Bloodborne Pathogens Training for Tattoo Artists do satisfy OSHA workplace requirements.

American Red Cross Online Courses FAQs

Do I receive a certification?

For Red Cross online-only courses offered by Healthline, students will receive a certificate of completion, not a certification. A certificate of completion acknowledges that the student understands the training topics but no hands-on training was completed and/or required.

The only exception to this is any bloodborne pathogens related training. Because bloodborne pathogens courses do not require a hands-on skills component, students will receive a formal bloodborne pathogens certification that is valid for one year.

Does the Red Cross offer other online-only course options other than what Healthline provides?

Yes. While the Red Cross offers online-only options for courses that include training topics such as first aid and CPR AED, Healthline First Aid believes that these types of courses should only be offered in a format that includes an instructor-led option. Learning how to properly push on someone’s chest when CPR is needed and how to properly apply an AED is too important for an online-only option.
