Authorized Training Center Policies

How does it work?
This program has two components. Students must complete both components to receive a certification card. The first component is the on-line course with quizzes and final exam. After the students have completed the e-learning portion, they must attend a skills class offered by an Authorized Training Center. Each skills class should take approximately 1 - 1.5 hours.

Action Safety Education, Inc. receives payment for the online course. Authorized training centers set their own price for the skills class and the fee for hands-on training is paid directly to the Authorized Skills Training Center.

These courses meet or exceed the OSHA and American Heart Association guidelines for CPR, AED and First Aid training (courses are not for healthcare providers or professional rescuers).
