Why join?

  • You cannot speak Chinese but want to learn CPR.
  • This course is not always available in English.

Consider joining if you are an English speaker in these sectors...

  • Fitness trainers, health club, swimming pool staff
  • Childcare or elderly care staff
  • Security guards, security staff
  • Restaurant staff, for restaurants that offer heart risky foods
  • Anyone who wants to learn something useful & new!

I will be adding more details if there are any interested participants.

(Edit 18/5: Updated information)

Updates

  • Application process
    • One member of a group will download & fill the form on the website requesting for group class.
  • Schedule
    • Preferred schedule will be up to the group members and will be specified/written down on form.
  • Availability
    • Unfortunately, the earliest available schedule for the group class is only after September. I don't know why it takes too long, I hope I did not misunderstand anything.
  • Continuing Education Fund
    • No.
  • CPR-AED Card
    • Certificate only. No card, again I hope I did not misunderstand.
  • Class structure
    • I asked if they taught theory/writing, practical/action. The guy said "no writing - it's practice" So I guess they would be teaching how to do it in a practical way. Again not 100% confident with the answers.

Conclusion

  • I may opt for another organization (Macau Freediving Association) for the CPR-AED course since they are available as early as next week and only require minimum 2 people. I will post more details below for reference.
  • So consider this thread closed. I will not be pursuing a class from Macau Red Cross for the CPR-AED course since their availability is only after September for the English version of the course.
  • I will leave this post up for information/reference for people who would like to do this course in the future.

Option 2

CPR-AED Certification Course (Macau Freediving Association)

  • can be taught in English
  • Minimum 2 people
  • 9 hours
  • 1,300 MOP
  • They state certificate is internationally recognized.
  • Also, cannot use Continuing Education Fund.
  • Availability: at the moment, they state they can offer class as early as next week if group members are confirmed.

Disclaimer: I do not receive any benefits or incentives from this post. I just want to make others life easier by spreading the word. Since it is difficult to find courses or educational content in Macau that is taught in English.

Edit: More details added.

Edit 18/5: Schedule & process added. I called them earlier today. I inquired as best as I can but as a disclaimer, I am not always confident of the information due to possible barriers in our communication.
