Our Courses

We offer a wide range of courses for individuals or for groups. As well as online and In-person options. Let’s decide what is best for you.

Individual Training

We have a variety of options for individuals or small groups. You can either join the existing classes we have around Georgia and South Carolina or sign up for one of our online training options.

The online CPR course is blended, meaning the instruction is done online and the hands on portion is done at one of our skills checks. The online Fire Safety course is completely online via Zoom and does not require a hand on portion.

Group Training

For groups, we offer in-person training at your location, scheduled at your convenience. Morning, afternoon, evening and Saturday sessions are available. Minimum group size varies depending on your location.
Online training options are also available for groups.

CPR, First Aid, and AED

LWhat is the CPR, First Aid, and AED Course like?

This class is very similar to our CPR and First aid course, but the main addition is the hands-on experience with the AED. Using an AED for someone in cardiac arrest in the first few minutes will triple the chance of recovery. So having hands-on experiences is vital.

This class is required if you have an AED on-site for any “Expected Users” that may be most likely to need to use it. This class comes with an ASHI certification and ASHI e-textbook as well.

Bloodborne Pathogens

What is the Bloodborne Pathogens Course Like?

After 2020, we’ve all become more aware of disease prevention, but what about diseases that are transmitted through blood?

Our bloodborne pathogens class will help your facility come up with a plan to protect your staff by minimizing exposure and taking appropriate action in case of someone is accidentally exposed. You learn what bloodborne pathogens are, what diseases can be transmitted, and how to prevent the spread of disease.

OSHA requires annual bloodborne pathogens training for anyone expected to deal with blood as part of their job.
