The UP Red Cross Youth application lasts one semester and is handled by the Human Resource and Development Department. During the first semester it runs from June to October.

Training

The organization requires all applicants to undergo First Aid Training and Basic Life Support for six training days (8Am-5PM with Lunch Break). By default these are scheduled on Saturdays but are subject to change depending on applicants' schedules and date of official holidays. Examinations are usually held on the sixth Saturday.

Examinations are of two parts, General First Aid and Basic Life Support. Each part is further divided into two types, a paper and pencil test and practicals. The passing mark is set by the Training and Development Office and may vary from one training period to another but is generally set around 70-75 points for each part. You must attain the minimum passing mark for both parts to pass the training examination.

Org Integration

Aside from undergoing training, the organization also requires its applicants to fulfill certain requirements to familiarize applicants with the organization's advocacies and services. Among the general requirements are:

• a batch project;
  
• accomplishment of applicant's sig sheet;
  
• attainment of a minimum duration of "tambay" hours with the organization's resident members;
  
• attendance to a minimum number of activities organized or hosted by the organization;
• and lastly, participation in other activities organized for the acquaintance of applicants-applicants and applicants-members.
  

The organization views and treats its applicants as future team members and partners in its various activities and believes that these requirements are necessary to introduce the organization's advocacies and principles, familiarize applicants with the members' work ethic, as well as integrate applicants into the org culture of camaraderie and humane relations.
