“We do a blended learning class where you can do part online training at home and then you come in for the skills session, we do that once a month here in Parkersburg. We also do an instructor led portion where you come in here and we teach you everything in class so you don’t have to do anything at home and we also do instructor training so we can train you to become an instructor and we do that once a month as well.” said Christina Payan, Instructor Trainer for The American Red Cross.
