Your Questions, Answered
-
Yes. As an American Red Cross Licensed Training Provider, I provide OSHA-compliant certification that meets most workplace, regulatory, and professional requirements.
-
The Red Cross offers different levels of certification based on your role. My current public and on-demand sessions are focused on Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED for the general community, workplace, and childcare providers. If you are a healthcare professional, you likely need Basic Life Support (BLS). Please double-check your employer’s specific requirements before booking, as "standard" CPR often does not meet the specialized requirements for clinical healthcare roles.
-
If you have 6 or more people, an On-Demand class is usually easier. It allows us to pick a date that works for your schedule and train everyone at once in your office. If you only have 1 or 2 staff members, sending them to a Public Class listed in our Class Schedule is more cost-effective.
-
It is a hybrid format. You complete the "book work" and videos online at your own pace before we meet. This significantly reduces our in-person classroom time, focusing our live session solely on hands-on skills.
-
For individual seats, visit our Upcoming Classes calendar to book and pay instantly. For group sessions, use our On-Demand page to start the inquiry process.
-
Public classes are hosted at local venues in the Bluemont and surrounding region. For On-Demand sessions, I can come directly to your home or place of business, or we can coordinate a third-party space.
-
Absolutely. For group sessions, I bring all the CPR and first aid practice equipment to you. Fill out the inquiry form found in the On Demand page and will work work together to determine the space and IT equipment needed.
-
Your safety is a priority. I follow strict Red Cross hygiene protocols. All manikins are thoroughly sanitized after every use, and we use single-use, disposable lungs and individual face shields for every student.
-
Yes! I am committed to making CPR training accessible. While the Red Cross requires certain physical maneuvers for full certification, we can discuss "reasonable accommodations" or "audit" options so you can still learn these life-saving skills. Please contact me before booking so we can plan ahead.
-
My goal is your confidence, not a grade. We will practice until you feel comfortable. Most students find the hands-on coaching makes the process very straightforward.
-
Public seats are paid for online at the time of booking via credit card. On-Demand groups are invoiced through a secure business platform once a date is confirmed. We accept all major credit cards and ACH transfers.
-

-
