What the Red Cross Adult and Pediatric class covers
First aid for injuries and illness
How to respond to injuries and sudden illness, and what to do until emergency help takes over, practised as hands-on scenarios.
CPR for every age
Adult, child and infant CPR on manikins sized for each age group, with the changes each one needs.
AED use and your certificate
Operating an AED safely, then a Red Cross digital certificate with a unique ID and QR code, valid two years.
Is the Red Cross class held anywhere in El Monte?
No. We teach it in West Covina and nowhere else, 10.3 miles east of central El Monte on the I-10. It is a straight freeway run with free parking at the end. The Wednesday class starts at 6:00 PM, right in the eastbound commute, so leave earlier than the 12 minutes suggests.
Does Head Start or after school work in El Monte call for pediatric CPR?
Programs that serve young children usually ask for first aid and CPR that covers infants and children, and El Monte City School District runs both Head Start and before and after school enrichment across its TK to 8 schools. The Red Cross Adult and Pediatric course practises CPR on infant, child and adult manikins in a single class. Your program coordinator decides which certificate goes in your file, so ask before you book.
Applying to be a Junior Recreation Leader or rec aide?
The City of El Monte says its parks and facilities are supervised by recreation staff certified in CPR and first aid, from Lambert Park to Tony Arceo Park. If you are applying for one of those roles, or are already in the Junior Recreation Leader program, a Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED certificate is the kind of credential those jobs look for. The department has the final say on which card counts.
Licensed child care in El Monte: will this class count?
Health and Safety Code 1596.866 asks licensed child care for pediatric first aid and pediatric CPR training from the American Red Cross, the American Heart Association or an EMSA-approved program. This class includes the pediatric portions, but licensing offices interpret the rules, so look up the EMSA approved list and check with your regional office before you pay for anything.
Coaching in El Monte Union this season?
Education Code 35179.1 requires California high school coaches to hold certification in first aid, CPR and AED use. The Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED certificate covers all three in one sitting, which suits coaches at Arroyo, El Monte, Mountain View and South El Monte High. Check how your athletic director wants the certificate turned in.
Saturday or Wednesday: which works better from El Monte?
The Saturday session at noon is the easier one for most El Monte families: the 10 is lighter and there is no weekday shift to leave early. Wednesday at 6:00 PM suits people who would rather keep the weekend free. Both are the same Red Cross course with the same certificate at the end.
