First Aid & CPR — Los Angeles FAQs
Yes. Adult CPR/AED is a shorter course that only covers adult resuscitation and automated external defibrillator use.

Yes. Our Los Angeles First Aid and CPR/AED training is OSHA approved and meets California workplace safety requirements under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The American Red Cross certification is accepted by Los Angeles employers in construction, childcare, fitness, security, hospitality, and general workplace safety roles across LA County.
Yes. Every Los Angeles First Aid and CPR/AED course at 2316 ½ S Union Ave includes full AED training — you practice on an automated external defibrillator trainer with manikins for adult, child, and infant CPR scenarios.

After expiry, individuals should complete a renewal or recertification class — ideally within 30 days of expiry to avoid a lapse in compliance.
Yes. Our blended learning format lets you complete the theory portion online at your own pace — ideal for Los Angeles professionals with a busy schedule. You then attend a short in-person skills session at 2316 ½ S Union Ave for the hands-on assessment. Online-only courses do not meet employer workplace safety requirements due to the lack of verified skills demonstration, so the in-person component is mandatory for certification.
Yes. Students who do not pass their skills demonstration on the first attempt are eligible for a free skills practice retake within 90 days at our Los Angeles facility at 2316 ½ S Union Ave — at no additional cost. Our instructors maintain a 99.99% student success rate across all Los Angeles first aid training and CPR training courses by providing clear instruction and patient support.
