Certification

Your Own Manikin and Online Training

We Come to You

The certification card is your proof of successful training. It is also called a completion card.
Our cards are from the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Safety & Health Institute (ASHI). They are nationally recognized and accepted.
AHA and ASHI cards meet OSHA certification requirements (Occupational Safety and Health Administration).
Internet companies offer "instant CPR certification," without manikin practice, and they are rejected. Do it right with our training, which always includes manikin practice.

Your Own Manikin and Online Training

Each student gets his or her own CPR manikin, for hands-on practice.
Feel and learn the right rhythm, the right pressure, and how do to rescue breaths.
Clients start with online training. That reduces the in-person time.
Online classes are easy to use and include demonstrations.
You can adjust online to suit your own pace.
After online training, you still need an instructor for review and to give you CPR practice on a manikin.
Instructor evaluation is required for certification.

List of Available Courses

Classes for 2023

We are pleased to offer courses designed by national leaders in health and safety instruction, the American Heart Association and the American Safety and Health Institute. Scroll down for specific sections: CPR Classes, Training for Health Care Providers, First Aid, and Fees.

American Heart Association (AHA)

Training for health care providers is offered only as AHA training. The other courses have both AHA and ASHI versions.

American Safety and Health Institute (ASHI)

ASHI courses are simpler than AHA courses, and are often the best choice for "just the basics." The CPR technique is identical. ASHI is being switched to the name of its corporate parent, the Health and Safety Institute (HSI). Both names are on the current certification cards.

CPR Classes

This section is for training on CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Classroom time varies according to skill level and number of of students. Renewal versions are often shorter. The certification is good for two years.

After a sudden cardiac arrest, CPR allows a bystander to restore some oxygen to the brain through a combination of chest compressions and rescue breaths.

This course also teaches how to use the automated external defibrillator. The AED is computerized medical device to rescue victims of cardiac arrest.
