How to Choose a CPR Company to teach Your Office

So it’s that time of year again… CPR Training. Great. A later date wasted with bad videos and boring instructors. Pass me the toothpicks so that I could jam them under my eyelids to keep them open! Does this problem?

Unfortunately, CPR and MEDICAL training are right up there on the fun scale with extended dental work and clearing up following a sick dog. How does that happen? It’s true that people are much more likely to tell their friends about the most tedious, boring, and monotonous class they just sat through than one which was just marginal.

If you draw the short straw and so are in charge of selecting a CPR class for the office, here’s how to pick a great class and become the hero of one’s peers.

1) Make sure the company routinely does onsite training. ACLS Classes in San Leandro , you can aquire recertified right at your workplace. Less driving, less work lost, and an environment that is comfortable for you staff. Get references.

2) Find out how long the class is going to take and how long the certification will be valid for. Don’t make your people sit via an all day training for a 1 year certification. You can decrease their time and agony by going right through a company that gives 2 year certifications.

3) Ask how many manikins they’ll bring. If the ratio is 3 people to 1 manikin (3:1), run! 2:1 is acceptable, 1:1 is ideal. Why? More manikins = more individual practice = shorter class = everyone thinks you’re the hero.

4) The instructor ratio should be low as well. Just like the manikins, more instructors = shorter class. An excellent rule of thumb is 8 students to at least one 1 instructor or less.

5) Finally, guarantee that the instructors themselves have actually performed CPR on a genuine person before. Actual life experience makes all the difference.
