Zoom Classes

Sometimes in life, we need to get our First Aid/CPR certification in a fast and secure manner. Look below and see if any of these circumstances apply to you:

• Have you ever thought about taking CPR classes in the privacy of your own home?  
• Do you feel like saving yourself an hour of driving time and not dealing with traffic to get your CPR certification? 
• Do you need your CPR certification for work tomorrow? 
• Is your job demanding you to get your First Aid certification?
• Are you babysitting or having a baby and want to be prepared in case of an emergency?
• Did the government just mandate that all of your employees need to be CPR certified?

Then you are in luck! We offer Zoom classes for our CPR and First Aid and our Basic Life Support. The best news is that you get to keep the equipment since you purchased it, or if you live in the vicinity of Peoria, AZ, you can pick up the equipment at our main location to rent for your Zoom class. We require a deposit for the equipment, if you choose to rent our manikins. Your deposit that will be returned once the equipment is brought back in the same condition. This will ensure that you have everything you need to be successful in saving a life.

***No equipment is needed for the First Aid Certification Virtual Course***

 Class Structure

Each ZOOM class you sign up for will provide an email with the meeting pin and passcode in it. You will use this to log into ZOOM. Our instructor will be there to greet you, and will lead each session the way we do in the classroom. Each class is interactive, and you will receive guidance the whole way through the class. Through video and audio sharing, we can look at each person performing CPR and instruct you for an informative online experience as possible.

Each class time will be reserved for one person right now. If there is a family that wants to do the instruction together, we can arrange that. 

Make sure you create an account and complete the online course with the American Red Cross before your ZOOM meeting.  When making a payment, please include the date and time you would like your Zoom meeting, and we will confirm with a confirmation email. 

 Accessing the Virtual Classroom

If this is the first time you’re using Zoom on your computer or tablet, give yourself 15 minutes before your class to click on the “ZOOM” button above and follow the prompts to download the software.

Once Zoom is set up, joining a virtual classroom is as easy as clicking on the “ZOOM” button about five minutes before the appropriate class time. Please make sure your Zoom name is easily recognizable and matches the name under your registration. Otherwise, it will be difficult to know who you are and we may not be able to get you your certification as fast as we normally do. The Zoom name window should open the first time you use Zoom if you need to edit your name.

Once the session begins, you will be able to see the instructor on the screen. The instructor may mute participants’ microphones to prevent distractions and background noise (from pets, phones, etc.), but you will always be able to unmute yourself to ask questions.

Since this is a required part of the class to receive certification, video sharing will need to be enabled the entire class for the instructor to be able to teach you CPR and have you practice on your equipment.
