Safety Certification Courses

Get certified while on campus! Classes are offered to URI students, faculty, staff, and the local community. All courses are taught by American Red Cross-certified instructors. We offer blended/hybrid and traditional classes for some of our certifications courses. Blended/hybrid courses alternate online simulation learning with in-person skills sessions; while a traditional course is 100% in-person.
