Class Descriptions
The whole intent of our classes is very simple, To Save A Life. We teach our classes as if our very lives depended upon the students having the knowledge to save us. We try to put more emphasis on the practical portions of the classes rather than the technical aspects the classes. While it may be nice to understand that the AED's we use are bi-phasic, we find it more important to know how to apply and use the AED.
All of our classes include training in Body Substance Isolation. We offer Rescue Masks for sale. we also can provide masks for classes that have undergone a sterilization process prior to each class. We use only LATEX-FREE gloves. We are a YES company. We will do everything we can to accommodate participants with special needs.
