I find the Red Cross has very little information about its courses that the public can get to. This is probably why I didn't go with them in the first place. Things are changing though... Hey,

I just finished my Standard Course with the Red Cross and thought I'd let you know a few differences I found with St Andrews. First and foremost, if you're going to be volunteering with the Red Cross, your course is totally free. The Red Cross will never have you pay for anything: not uniform, not equipment, not even your lunch. Also, AED is now incorportated into our Standard Course, so we can use it right from the start. By the time St Andrews people learn to use an AED, a Red Cross person could be using Entonox and putting in airways! Obviously I've not been in the Red Cross long, so I'm not sure of other differences, but I'm sure I'll come across more as I go along. ~Calum Hey,
