Certification Courses

Rec Sports offers American Red Cross safety training courses to provide essential knowledge and hands-on skills to help individuals recognize and respond confidently during emergencies. These courses cover a wide range of topics, including CPR, first aid, and AED use. Designed for both lay responders and professionals, American Red Cross training emphasizes preparedness, life-saving techniques, and meeting OSHA and workplace compliance standards.
