Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Students love our courses - cause we want to have fun! We will teach the knowledge and the skills, but we can have fun doing that. This is a life-saving motor skill - students really need to learn, but a fun class is far better than a boring class.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
We always keep up with the protocol tests, and advancements in resucitation. We don't get bored hearing cardiac arrest survival rates or methods to improve - cause we want to help save lives.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Obviously prices can change, particuarly if the prce of AHA certification cards goes up, but we charge $40 for CPR/AED, $50 for BLS for Healthcare Providers, and $60 for First Aid/CPR/AED.
How did you get started teaching?
It started when I was 5, I had an uncle die of "heart failure". At the funeral home, I heard my aunt say "I wish I had known 'mouth-to-mouth' and he might still be alive". I didn't know what that term even meant. My first training was when I was in the Boy Scouts, and I've been determined since then NOT to be someone at the funeral home saying "I wish I had known CPR, so that _________ might still be with us". Please, you don't be that person, either. It takes from 40 minutes to 3 hours of time from your life and $10-50 from your wallet. My loved ones are worth it, I think yours are, also.
What types of students have you worked with?
Usually training at their workplace, gym or hospital for a group of employees, nursing students, etc. Often (like 6-8 times per month) we rent a facility for "Public classes", or "community training". Anyone can sign up, generally for $40-$50 per course. We can also teach at your clinic, fitness center, church, neighborhood association, nursing home, child care center, etc. Practical and fun training that may save the life of a loved one. Learn CPR - Save a Life!
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
For my employer, I manage the AED program and teach First Aid/CPR/AED classes for 350 or so employees. I also am responsible for the "Annual CPR/AED" drill. As a result of training and practice, we have gotten drills to less than 2 minutes from patient collapse to AED shock. That's an amazing result that indicates CPR being performed within 45 seconds from someone collapsing and AED shock within 2 minutes. Those are better times than Las Vegas casinos, that have higher than 55% survival rate. Yes, that means my office is a GREAT place to have a cardiac arrest (as if you'll get to choose the where or when).
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
If required by your employer/clinic/fitness center/hospital, etc. to have CPR training, then ONLY go with a national provider (American Heart, Red Cross, or NSC). If you're a Medical Professional or nursing/medical/dental student, we would ONLY recommend AHA BLS for Healthcare Providers course (from Newnan CPR, or a lot of other AHA instructors). There's nothing wrong with completing the AHA HeartCode (online) course, as long as you get an AHA skill check within 2 months. If your employer requires CPR certification, completion of an "online-only" CPR course Will NOT be recognized, cause OSHA doesn't recognize online CPR training without a hands-on practice session with a qualified instructor.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
First, is this training REQUIRED for my job or school? If so, the requirement is probably specific, like : AHA BLS for Healthcare Providers, or "nationally recognized CPR/1st Aid Provider". Don't waste money on a class that is not accepted by your school or ermployer.
If you work in GA, and are a nurse, paramedic, doctor, dentist, dental assistant, or dental hygienist - then AHA BLS for Healthcare Providers is your required course. Your employer may require an advanced class (like PALS or ACLS), but BLS Provider is the minimum.
