Community Classes
These are pre-scheduled courses throughout the community and are open to the general public. To learn more about the classes we offer and our schedule or to register, please see Community First Aid & CPR Classes.

Authorized Provider
An Authorized Provider is an individual or organization who is certified to offer Red Cross programs at your facility, with your own Red Cross trained instructors. Teach courses to employees of your business or members of your organization - whenever and wherever you want. Teaching life saving courses provides an excellent benefit to your employees and ensures you have trained people on hand to respond to unexpected emergencies. By sending one of your employees to our New Instructor Training class, you can teach the American Red Cross courses in-house as often as you'd like. Training to become an American Red Cross instructor involves two days of training and a commitment to teach at least one class every two years to maintain certification. Materials and equipment for the classes you teach can be purchased from us and you may choose to rent the training manikins, AED trainers and training DVDs. For more information, contact Larry Decker at (719) 785-2713 or ldecker@pparc.org. You can also visit Community First Aid & CPR Classes for the schedule of and to register for the New Instructor Training course.

See Becoming an Authorized Provider for more information, what steps you will need to follow and sample prices.

Full Service Training
We'll come to you! You can schedule us to come to your facility and teach a private training for your group. We are available during business hours, evenings, weekends and even third shift training if necessary. For information regarding onsite group training for your workplace and other groups, please see Onsite Group Training for more information.

Good Samaritan Law
The Colorado Good Samaritan Law helps to protect rescuers who voluntarily help a victim in distress. These laws are designed to encourage people to help a stranger who is in need of assistance by reducing the fear that they could held accountable if they inadvertently make a mistake during treatment. Additionally, in Colorado, House bill 99-1283 also provides protection for use of Automated External Defibrillators (AED's).
