Blended learning

American Red Cross has recently started to offer blended learning courses which allows the student to do the classroom presentation portion from the comfort of their home, then coming in to do the skills validation portion within 30 days.

This allows for busy individuals to conduct the online portion at any time, and then plan ahead for the most convenient skills testing.

This type of course cuts down the time spent in class to approximately 2 hours, and also allows the flexibility of when to do the skills.
