Welcome to the American Red Cross of Central Florida, and thank you for being part of our mission of emergency prevention and preparedness. We'd like to congratulate you on your commitment to building a healthier, safer community by becoming an American Red Cross authorized provider and helping us reach even more people with lifesaving training.

Click here to apply to become an authorized provider of the American Red Cross of Central Florida.

As an American Red Cross authorized provider, you are leveraging more than 90 years of lifesaving expertise and a brand that is trusted and recognized as being the premier health and safety training organization. Red Cross training materials incorporate the most current standards of care that meet OSHA Guidelines for First Aid and the Emergency Cardiovascular Care Guidelines. And because Red Cross training is standardized and recognized by national, state and local authorities, proof and validity of training can easily be provided to regulatory agencies.

Your American Red Cross of Central Florida is committed to providing you with the highest level of customer service. Technical and programmatic support is just a phone call away, and marketing materials are available at little or no cost so that you can promote your training programs. Your American Red Cross of Central Florida also provides administrative support, including issuing course certificates and maintaining instructor and student records, so that you can focus on what's most important-providing lifesaving training. If you have any questions, please be sure to call (407) 894-4141 or email mail@centralfl-redcross.org.

E-Sheets

E-marketing can help you promote training at a fraction of the cost of standard mail. E-sheets are short, simple, electronic flyers that can be sent to potential or current customers via e-mail. Because they are MS Word documents, e-sheets can be customized with your organization's contact information. They can also be printed and used in direct mail campaigns. To download e-sheets, click on one of the links below:

• Babysitter's Training E-Sheet
  
• CPR E-Sheet
  
• Lifeguard Training E-Sheet
  

If you are an authorized provider training your own employees, e-sheets can also be sent to your employees via e-mail to encourage them to enroll in an upcoming first aid and CPR course that your company is hosting. Because they are MS-Word documents, these e-sheets can be customized with the date and time of the training.

• First Aid/CPR E-Sheet (office setting)
• First Aid/CPR/AED E-Sheet (office setting)
• First Aid/CPR E-Sheet (warehouse setting)
• First Aid/CPR/AED E-Sheet (warehouse setting)

New First Aid/CPR/AED Program Course Combinations Provide More Training Options. The First Aid/CPR/AED Program reflects the Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) 2000 Guidelines and provides you with a broader range of training options than ever before, including adult CPR, automated external defibrillation (AED), injury control modules, and infant and child CPR. The modular design of the program allows customers to build the first aid and safety programs that are right for them.

The First Aid/CPR/AED Program Instructor's Manual provides course outlines and lesson plans for 14 courses and course combinations. We heard from instructors that course outlines for every possible course combination in the First Aid/CPR/AED Program would be valuable. We responded with the development of 15 additional course outlines designed to match the multiple course combinations that customers may request. The new course outlines (see MS Word file available below) provide you with clear directions to conduct each combination ensuring that all skills and information are covered uniformly without needless repetition. This expansion results in a total of 29 course combinations that can be taught from one instructor's manual to help you offer your course takers the training they need.

Thank you for the critical work you are doing in your community everyday. Each person to whom you teach lifesaving skills might have the opportunity to put those skills to use in a life-threatening emergency. Together, we can save a life.
