GROUP CPR CERTIFICATION TRAINING

General Public

Group CPR training is an ideal meeting agenda for church groups, civic organizations, youth outreach, neighborhood clubs, families, and any other nonprofessional groups of individuals who desire to learn the lifesaving skills taught through CPR training. We can schedule your group training with as few as 6 people and can host your class at our facility or yours. 

Schools and Childcare Facilities

Schools and childcare regulators require employees to be certified in CPR. Group training can eliminate “stragglers” and provide a date certain for employees to be initially certified or recertified and to be incompliance with State, DHR, and other regulation and accreditation organization requirements.  We can train your entire staff or arrange multiple small group trainings to accommodate staffing needs and employee scheduling. 

Workplace, Industry, and Construction

If your organization is regulated by State, Federal, or OSHA safety laws in many circumstances you are required to provide persons who are trained in CPR and First Aid at the jobsite.  American EMT’s courses meet or exceed the requirements set out by https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-29/subtitle-B/chapter-XVII/part-1910.  We have many options to accommodate your CPR and First Aid training needs including group and individual certification and recertification.   We can also organize onsite shift-based training if desired. 

Medical Practices and Facilities

BLS, ACLS, and PALS recertification is required by the American Heart Association every two years.  For most, recertification is never timely or convenient but is a requirement to continue working in a healthcare discipline.  We work with physician practices, surgical centers, imaging facilities, dental offices, and others to develop a training and compliance plan that accomplishes the goal of recertification without unduly interrupting the workflow of the facility. 

Volunteer EMS and Fire Departments

Our instructors are working EMT’s and Paramedics who understand the time challenges that first responders face, particularly those who volunteer their time to help others in need.  We can offer volunteer departments creative solutions to accommodate training schedules including combined department training, night and weekend training, as well as specialized training for advanced responders. 

HOW TO GET A CPR CERTIFICATION

SAME DAY ECARDS.  Certification valid for 2 years.

Group CPR training can be accomplished in a traditional classroom format or through hybrid learning which combines self-paced online modules with an in-person skills experience.  Group CPR training in Birmingham can be conducted at your location or at American EMT’s centrally located emergency medical training center.
