Our Training

Our CPR and First Aid certification classes offer a flexible delivery method to meet your individual requirements. Participants master required skills and knowledge for their CPR and First Aid certification through a combination of independent study, instructor-led skill development and scenario practice sessions. Our instructors will also add relevant information to meet specific workplace or local training requirements. Our training facility is located in the city of Chico, California. Our instructors travel around the region to a location of your choice to conduct your CPR and First Aid certification.

With today’s fast-paced lifestyle, people find they not only enjoy studying on their own time, but tend to learn and remember more. Educational studies consistently show that independent study leads to better assimilation and retention of the information.

The benefits of the independent study learning method include:

Better participant preparation
More effective use of time
Focused face-to-face time

Our CPR and First Aid certification courses encompass adult, child and infant CPR and first aid skills, and incorporate Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) training and emergency oxygen use. Our CPR and First Aid certification courses are flexible in design to accommodate your scheduling and training needs.

Our CPR and First Aid certification courses build lay rescuer confidence to provide care when faced with a medical emergency. Participants learn and practice the same patient care techniques and principles used by medical professionals, but at a lay person level.

Infant & Child

The Emergency First Response (EFR) Care for Children course is an innovative child and infant CPR and First Aid training course that teaches participants how to provide emergency care for injured or ill children (ages one to eight) and infants less than one year old. Participants learn about the types of medical emergencies that children face, and how they differ from adults. The curriculum also includes the importance of attending to basic emergency situations with children, the emotional aspects of caring for children, secondary care for children, and preventing common injuries and illnesses in children.

The Emergency First Response Care for Children course trains the lay rescuer to follow the same priorities of care used by medical professionals.

The course includes both primary care (CPR) and secondary care (first aid) skills. The primary care portion of the course prepares the rescuer to help an infant or child with a life-threatening emergency such as choking or cardiac arrest.
