First Response Safety Training classes are always very professional and informative. The teachers make the classes enjoyable. Kelly is always very helpful whenever I need to schedule classes for my staff. Highly recommend this company for your CPR and Fire Safety trainings.

Tom Enser is an amazing instructor. He shares the valuable information in a manner that keeps you interested and involved. He has taught CPR/First Aid at our school for many years. I wouldn’t consider another company. First Response Safety Training is the best!

Kaltoum

I recently completed a CPR training course with karissa Hollenbeck, and I found it incredibly informative and well-structured. The course covered essential topics, including adult, child, and infant CPR, as well as AED usage and choking response.

The instructor was knowledgeable and passionate about teaching, making complex concepts easy to understand. The hands-on practice sessions were particularly valuable, allowing us to apply what we learned and receive immediate feedback.

The training materials were top-notch, and the environment was welcoming, making it easy to ask questions and engage with fellow participants.

Overall, I highly recommend this CPR training course to anyone looking to gain life-saving skills. I feel more confident in my ability to respond in an emergency.

My First Aid/CPR class was led by Tom and he’s the best instructor I’ve ever had. What I appreciated most is that He’s prompt (arrived on time) and is very engaging- he really kept it interesting by sharing personal anecdotes that were entertaining and educational at the same time. Tom’s teaching style is great because he made it easier to remember lots of very important info by telling stories that stick with you. I highly recommend. Thanks Tom!

The instructor was very professional, informative, and engaging. I have attended classes similar on and off since 1996, when I started teaching in Fulton County. This was BY FAR the best experience I have had in a CPR/First Aid class setting.

Fire Safety Training FAQ

Is Fire Safety Training Required for Child and Senior Care Professionals in Georgia?

Yes, Fire Safety training and certification is required for both child care and senior care professionals in Georgia by the Georgia Fire Marshal Office, Bright From the Start, and the Department of Community Health. Read more about the laws and regulations here.

Is Online Fire Safety Training Okay?

Yes, online fire safety is approved by the fire marshal’s office if it is given by a live OCI-Certified Caregiver Instructor. Meaning, it must be given via a video call software like Zoom or Google Meet with a live instructor who is ‌approved by the fire marshal’s office.

However, it is not approved to have at your own pace Fire Safety training that isn’t done with a live instructor. This type of asynchronous training can be tempting since it is often cheaper, but it will not get you the certification the fire marshal requires.

All of our online trainings are done with a live OCI-Certified instructor via Zoom and meets all the same requirements as in person training from the comfort of your home.

Learn more about online fire safety here.

What is Fire Safety Training Like?

It is a 2 1/2 to 3 hour course where you will learn how to prevent fire and respond if they do happen both in your facility and in your home. We also teach you ways to educate your students, children, parents, and/or residents on fire safety principles.

All of our trainings are fun and interactive helping participants learn and have fun doing it.

What Does The Fire Safety Certificate Look Like?

These change every few years, but for it to be valid, it must be from a Office of the Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire (OCI) certified provider, which we are. We always provide the most up to date certificate for all of our students.

View what the certificates look like here.

Can You Handle Large Groups?

Yes, while our average class is around 15 students. We regularly teach groups of 50 or even 100 or more. When we have large groups like this, we bring extra instructors. Book a class here.

Why Are You So Affordable?

Because we want to eliminate any obstacles to people learning this important material. Many Fire Safety Trainings cost an arm and a leg, but by making our training more affordable, we hope to open the door for more people to learn this. You may be tempted to think affordable means low quality, but we consistently hear feedback like “this is the best class I have ever taken.” Check out our reviews above to see some of these stories.
