| YES WE ARE STILL TEACHING - It's essential that Health Care Providers remain current in their certification so we have continued instruction and recertification of BLS and First Aid. We have pared back class sizes to 10 people and bring your coat, we leave the windows open to maintain circulation in the instruction room. American First Aid and CPR operates courses in Accordance with American Heart Association requirements. With the Covid-19 virus we have extremely modified our equipment and procedures in order to instruct the same courses we have taught before WE RESTARTED CLASSES JUNE 3rd AT HALF THE CAPACITY WITH 'PPE' PROVIDED HENCE THE $5 HIGHER COST FOR THE CLASS. CLASSES WILL FILL QUICKLY, STAY SAFE, STAY SPACED! Remember NO CPR certification is any good if not with a live instructor and I know your facility and in some cases city officials may pass out their own "Exemptions" to that rule, don't believe it, it's not real AHA certified if not with a live instructor, don't waste your money. We are Training Center Faculty for Newcastle our Training Center, as recognized by American Heart Association (AHA), and instruct using the latest AHA guidelines. Our training is also accepted for OSHA, WISHA, and Dept. of Labor and Industries guidelines. #1 All students will be given 1 pair of Nitrile Gloves and are required to wear them throughout the class. We offer several courses, Basic First Aid/CPR/AED Washington State L&I recognized for use in most Washington counties. We also offer Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) recertification after the First Aid course This course is most popular for in-state workers and non-health care providers (Click on Public Basic FA/CPR link to the left) For American Heart Association (AHA) we are certified to teach Heartsaver First Aid/CPR/AED (Click on Public Basic FA/CPR link to the left), This is recognized as an International certification and also comes with an AHA book and requires testing at the end of class. This course is most used by multi-state workers and Healthcare Providers. Our most popular course is Basic Life Support (BLS). It is known under several other names such as Healthcare Provider, and Heartcode. (Click on Healthcare Provider/BLS link to the left) We teach live classes and also provide the Part 2 portion of the online course. Washington State REQUIRES that all online classes have a live instruction component. Any online course that certifies you without live instructor interaction is NOT a legitimate certification. All AHA courses now use the eCard system which provides better proof of legitimate training to employers and replacement of lost cards managed by the student. Each student must have Internet access and email. Some companies say they "follow the AHA guidelines then give you a card they made themselves. It may be good for state OSHA/WISHA standards but is NOT an AHA certification unless it's an AHA eCard. We use Fire Service experienced live trainers and don't limit teaching 'How and What', we add 'WHY' so the student has a better retention and confidence of rescue practices. We adapt our classes to many customer specific needs from daycare, food industries, to industrial specifics. We also are certified for Coast Guard, state Electrical and HVAC CE.
