Basic Level CPR for Adults, Children, Infants: Learn how to recognize and care for individuals experiencing immediately life-threatening emergencies such as breathing problems, heart attack or cardiac arrest. Training can be provided that covers only a single age group, or any combination of the three.
AED Training: Teaches the knowledge & skills necessary to care for victims of sudden cardiac arrest through the use of an Automated External Defibrillator… the life saving device that has been proven to make the difference in those first few minutes, before EMS arrives! This program is typically combined with any CPR course, but can be provided in a stand-alone module.
Healthcare Provider/Professional Rescuer Level CPR and AED: This CPR training is more comprehensive, including two-rescuer CPR, use of a pocket resuscitation masks, bag valve masks and other advanced topics of concern to those needing or wanting a higher level of knowledge and skill.
Practicums in CPR &/or First Aid: Designed to encourage confidence in decision-making and / or skills, we provide opportunities for people to practice skills learned in prior trainings & to enhance their confidence, without the stress of testing or certification. These are often provided in the off year (CPR being a 2 year certification) as a brief practice session. This follows the recommendation by the AHA Emergency Cardiovascular Care Committee to participate in reviews at least every 6 months.
Basic Level First Aid Certification Courses: These courses cover how to respond in emergency situations, when & how to access the EMS system, and how to determine priorities. They address topics such as care for Shock, Burns, Bleeding Control, Injuries to muscles, bones or joints, and treatment for sudden illnesses such as Diabetic Emergencies, Seizures, Poisonings, Heat & Cold, Allergic Reactions, etc. The goal of these courses is to enable those who are most typically first on the scene (friends, family, co-workers) to begin appropriate care in those most important first few minutes.
First Aid Overviews: We design & develop program topics and time frames to meet the very specific needs of any particular group. Typically, this is the choice of clients who haven’t the time or budget for a complete course, or for those who do not need official certification.
Enhanced First Aid Options: Additional modules may be combined with basic programming or provided separately to supplement participant’s knowledge or skill base in a particular area of concern for that group. This could be a session involving anything from how to use EpiPens for severe allergic reactions, Administer Oxygen, obtain Vital Signs, or care for very specific types of Injuries.
