Blended Online Training
Due to Covid, many offices are opting to do blended online training. This also works great if you do not have enough for the minimum.
- Classes are done online in a Live Zoom Training with an Instructor.
- After completing the online class, they will receive a 45-day certificate until participants complete a hands-on skills check.
- The hands-on portion is done in small groups and takes about 15 minutes per group.
- Participants earn a 2 year CPR & First Aid certification after skills check. This meets Bright From the Start requirements in Georgia and South Carolina Endeavors guidelines.
$25 a person. No minimum is required.
Skills Checks
After completing your online training, you will need to do an in-person CPR skills check. We have locations across Georgia and South Carolina.
This is usually done outside in small, socially distanced groups.
If you would like to host an on-site skills check, there is a $50 fee (total); this is waived if you have 6 or more people. You can request one here.
