Who are the certification cards issued through? Health and Safety Institute (HSI), American Heart Association (AHA), and America Red Cross (ARC), are the three largest providers of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first Aid training in the United States. While we offer certification through all three providers, your cards will be issued through HSI unless otherwise requested.
Will the training meet our company’s regulatory requirements? All courses are accepted and approved by US state regulatory agencies, licensing boards, associations, and councils for hundreds of occupations and professions. This includes the Dept of Education, Dept of Family and Social Services, Child Care Licensing, NAEYC, NECPA, and the CDA program. We offer a 100% compliance guarantee.
What is the cost of training per person? In order to offer the most comprehensive and competitive pricing to our clients, a customized quote is prepared for each training session or contract year. The rate per person is based off of the total number of employees, site locations, and training needs.
