Benefits
Being an employee or volunteer for the American Red Cross brings you many benefits, one of which is eligibility for you and your family to join Pentagon Federal Credit Union.
Learning Management System
This link to LMS is provided to Red Cross volunteers so they can take online courses from a secure link. You will need your student identification number to log into the system (available from the Chapter). The "Student Login" is on the upper left of the LMS welcome screen.
National Incident Management System (NIMS) Information
In an effort for all agencies to respond more effectively, the American Red Cross has asked all disaster volunteers to take online training available on the NIMS website. Each suggested training section has a number of segments (5 – 8) that should take you from 15 – 40 minutes each to complete. You can do one segment at a time and go back to the next segment at your leisure. Each section ends with a summary and at the end of the summary you will find a test that you download and the fill in your answer sheet online.
NIMS Training Course
You will be notified of successful completion of each section by e-mail and receive a certificate to that regard. Please forward a copy of the certificates to the local chapter office so we can update your records.
