Can you describe the hands-on practice in your in-person CPR training?

In our in-person CPR training, participants engage in hands-on practice with CPR manikins to simulate real-life scenarios. This includes chest compressions, rescue breathing, and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) under the guidance of our experienced instructors.

Are your CPR instructors certified, and what qualifications do they possess?

What age groups are covered in your CPR training, and do you offer pediatric-specific courses?

Are your CPR courses compliant with workplace safety standards, and can they fulfill regulatory requirements?

Yes, our CPR courses are designed to meet workplace safety standards and regulatory requirements. We can provide documentation to support compliance with relevant regulations.

How do you handle participants who may feel anxious or uncomfortable during hands-on practice?

Our instructors create a supportive and inclusive learning environment. Participants are encouraged to communicate any concerns or discomfort, and our team is trained to address individual needs with sensitivity.

Can you accommodate last-minute requests for on-site CPR training?

While we recommend scheduling in advance, we understand that emergencies arise. We will do our best to accommodate last-minute requests for on-site CPR training whenever possible.

Are there discounts available for non-profit organizations or community groups?

Yes, we offer discounts for non-profit organizations and community groups. Contact us to discuss specific pricing options based on the needs of your organization.

How do you keep track of participants' certification expiration dates, and do you provide reminders for recertification?

We maintain a record of participants’ certification expiration dates and can send reminders well in advance of the expiration. This ensures individuals have ample time to schedule recertification.

Can participants who have completed online CPR training solely receive certification without an in-person skills session?

While online training covers theoretical components, most certifications require an in-person skills session to ensure participants can effectively apply CPR techniques in real-life situations.

There are such courses out there that are all online, however we have found that most places of employment only accept online-hybrid courses in which skills were performed in person with an instructor.

We only offer online-hybrid course or in-person classes because they are the most compliant.

What kind of support is available for participants after completing CPR training, especially if they have further questions or need clarification?

We provide ongoing support for participants after training. Our team is available to answer questions, provide clarification, and offer additional resources to support continued learning.

In addition to this, we also allow past students who certified with us to refresh their skills or sit in on a class anytime during the 2-year period for which their cert is valid for at no extra cost.

To be eligible, students must have a certification issued by First Rescue CPR and it must be valid.
