Staff, Student, and Student Employee Training

Students and staff can sign up for a class any time on the Red Cross website.

The purpose of the First Aid training program is to help individuals identify and eliminate potentially hazardous conditions in their environment, recognize emergencies, and make appropriate decisions for first aid care. It teaches skills that participants need to know to provide immediate care of a suddenly ill or injured person until more advanced medical care arrives to take over.

The course includes hands-on skills practice for the students, as well as a two-year certification. Please contact safety@wm.edu for more details or to register.
