CPR and First Aid Program
Environmental Health and Instructional Safety (EH&IS)
has been pleased to offer American Red Cross certified CPR
and First-aid classes to the campus community for several
years. In the past few years the demand for these classes
has increased, making it difficult to schedule and manage
this program. In an effort to meet the needs of the campus
and continue to provide an effective and efficient service,
we are restructuring the CPR and First-aid training program.
The restructuring will provide increased opportunities for
campus participation and allow EH&IS to better manage
this service.
Beginning January 2006:
- Adult, Child and Infant Class
- EH&IS will offer one Adult, Child,
and Infant class and one Adult CPR
and AED class per month, that is open to all Faculty
and Staff through the Employee Training Center calendar
available through the campus portal. These classes will
be offered free of charge to all University employees.
If space permits, students may attend for $15. To sign
up for classes, see the following instructions: https://training.fullerton.edu/instructions/
- First Aid Class
- Two First-Aid classes per semester
will be offered to all Faculty and Staff through the
Employee Training Center calendar. These classes will
be offered free of charge to all University employees.
If space permits, students may attend for $15.
- Department Specific Classes
- Departments can offer their own CPR classes by having
department personnel CPR instructor trained. EH&IS
will offer instructor training at the beginning of every
semester through the Employee Training Center calendar
available through the campus portal. Instructor Training
classes will be offered for $75.00 per employee. The
Spring semester
Instructor training course has already taken place.
Watch the Bulletin Board for information for a Fall 2006
instructor course. Registration will be done
through the Employee Training Center.
- American Red Cross instructors certified through
EH&IS can schedule and conduct their own training
classes. EHIS will provide the manikins and other gear
required to teach the class. There will be a $15 per
student charge for this service payable to EH&IS.
University employees will not be charged.
- Departments can hire a trainer through the American
Red Cross. These classes can be arranged for $35.00
per student and paid directly to the Red Cross. See
the American Red Cross contact information below.
- Online CPR Training (Information
will be distributed when this service is available.)
- Starting this spring, the American Red Cross will
offer on-line CPR Training. Students can call the Red
Cross, pay $8.00 by credit card, and receive a password
that allows access to the Red Cross on-line training.
After passing the on-line training, students must pass
a hands-on practical exam. A demonstration of practical
skills is required for certification and will be offered
by EH&IS twice a month once this program is established.
We believe these options are the best solution to providing
American Red Cross certification to the Campus Community.
