Blended Learning and why it matters
Short Online Prep, Efficient In-Person Skills
Blended learning gives you the best of both worlds: convenience + real-world hands-on skills. Before your in-person session, you’ll complete a short online module that covers key concepts at your own pace and utilizes dynamic learning to meet you where you are at. Then you’ll meet for a focused, practical skills check led by a licensed nurse and CPR instructor.
Why clients love this format:
- No long classroom lectures
- Review material on your own schedule
- In-person time is shorter, but more impactful
- Fully Red Cross-certified and OSHA compliant
You’ll receive a link to your online module right after booking. Completion is required before the live session.
As a new boat owner, I was honestly nervous about emergencies. This class made me feel prepared for the first time. Nykki broke it down in a way that really stuck with me.
Living aboard full-time, emergencies aren’t a matter of if—but when. This training made me feel like I could actually handle it. Clear, calm, and tailored to real conditions.
This isn’t just a checkbox class. It’s crew preparation done right. Every one of my charter staff walked away more confident and capable. We’ll be rebooking every two years.

Frequently asked questions
What is a rush CPR or BLS certification?
A rush certification is an expedited training and testing session designed for clients who need same-day or next-day CPR/BLS cards. This service includes priority scheduling, quick confirmation, and digital certification issued immediately after class.
How quickly can I get certified?
Rush appointments can often be booked within 24 hours, including weekends and evenings. Digital proof of certification is sent to your inbox immediately after successful completion.
How does the online blended learning help me finish faster?
Red Cross Blended Learning combines the convenience of online coursework with the value of in-person, hands-on training. You complete a self-paced online module first, then attend a shorter, focused in-person skills session.
This format saves time without sacrificing quality—perfect for busy professionals. Because the online portion is available 24/7, you can complete it at your own pace, on your own schedule, from any device.
What is dynamic or adaptive quizzing, and how does it help me finish faster?
Red Cross online courses use adaptive quizzing, which means the program adjusts based on your answers. If you demonstrate strong understanding, the system allows you to move forward more quickly—skipping unnecessary repetition.
This is ideal for experienced providers or those renewing a certification, as it rewards prior knowledge and keeps your time commitment efficient.
Is the certification still valid and compliant?
Yes. Rush services follow the same Red Cross-certified blended learning format. You’ll still complete the online module beforehand and receive a nationally recognized, OSHA- and MMC-compliant certification valid for 2 years.
How long does the certification last?
Your Adult and Pediatric CPR/ AED and First Aid certification through this course is valid for 2 years from the date of completion.
