Custom Courses
The Safety Program currently offers two methods of course implementation: blended learning and instructor-led learning.
• Blended learning consists of an online module and an in-person hands-on skill portion. This method allows for flexible learning and less time in person. This method, depending on the course, would lead anywhere from a 6-hour to 8-hour day.
• Instructor-led learning consists of a course that is completely in-person and led by instructors from start to finish which may lead to a course with several days and varying hours.
We offer different course variations of Adult and Pediatric CPR/First Aid/AED for the Lay Responder and CPR/AED for Professional Rescuer + Administering Emergency Oxygen + First Aid + Bloodborne Pathogens. Both courses have the ability to cover child and/or pediatric sections.
Pricing varies depending on what information is covered and type of course implementation.
