WEST HOLLYWOOD—The city is offering a free American Red Cross CPR/First Aid/AED certification training on Saturday, October 10. Community members can choose from one of the two training sessions; one will take place from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and the other will take place from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Each will be held at the West Hollywood Park Aquatic and Recreation Center Fairfax/La Brea Room, located at 8750 El Tovar Place, adjacent to West Hollywood Library. Limited parking is available at the West Hollywood Park Five-Story parking structure located at 625 N. San Vicente Boulevard.
The American Red Cross certification training will cover adult and pediatric CPR/First Aid/AED topics and participants will learn how to respond to medical emergencies. Prior to meeting in-person, participants will be enrolled in an online learning session that takes approximately 2.5 hours to complete. There will be in-person section reviews and tests that will take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours per section for participants to receive certification. The online learning session link will be sent out seven days prior to the in-person training session. All online coursework must be completed before the in-person training session.
Space is limited and is anticipated to reach capacity quickly. Enroll using the city’s Hollywood’s “ActiveNet” online reservations portal. RSVPs require ActiveNet registration, which takes just a minute to complete.
Once capacity reaches limits, community members who are interested are asked to join a waitlist. The city will host additional American Red Cross CPR/First Aid/AED certification trainings. To join this waitlist email wehoaquatics@weho.org or call (323) 848-6538.
Knowledge in first aid provides multiple benefits. The best thing that people can do is to be prepared for when and if any accidents, mishaps, and occurrences happen. Every year, millions of people are hurt or killed from injuries due to inadequate response or lack of timely assistance.
