Q: Why do I need to call for my Student ID number
if I’ve already taken a class with the Red Cross?
That seems like a hassle.
A: Each person that takes
a class with the Red Cross (either at the Chapter
Office, at work, school, online, or other satellite
location) is given a unique Student ID number in the
National Red Cross database. There are hundreds
of thousands of students in the database. If
you already have a Student ID number but register
without it you will create a duplicate record within
our database. If you have duplicate or multiple
records within our database, there is chance that
your “Learning History” (the list of all classes you
have taken) will be spread out over those duplicate
or multiple records also. This could result in you
not getting the correct certificates for classes you
completed, and us not being able to correctly verify
which classes you completed and when. This becomes
especially important for students who are required
to have certification for work or school.

Q: I live closer to your Greenwood Service Center
(or Anderson or Laurens), but I don’t see any
classes listed for that location. Why not?

determines their own class schedule, and new classes
are added frequently. If you don’t see a class in
the catalog scheduled for a particular Service
Center, please call them directly to check on class
availability.

Q: I know the Red Cross certifies Lifeguards and
teaches swim lessons, where are these classes in
your catalog?
A: We don’t schedule these
classes at our Chapter Offices since we don’t have a
pool. There are quite a few pools and aquatic
centers in the area that offer Red Cross
certifications in Life guarding and swim lessons.
The various locations can be found by visiting
this page.

we’ll be happy to assist you.

Q: What
is Blended Learning?
A: A Blended Learning
class is one in which you do the reading and written
portion online at your convenience, and then come to
a scheduled in-seat class to do your skills practice
with an Instructor. You can register and pay for
Blended Learning classes the same way you would
register and pay for an in-seat class.

First Aid?
