Description
Health and Safety Institute (HSI) CPR, AED, and Basic First Aid combination training is a good option for students seeking a quality no-frills CPR and First Aid training class that doesn’t sacrifice quality.  This training course covers the Adult, Child, and Infant CPR AED and Adult First Aid and helps to develop basic first aid knowledge, skills, and the confidence to respond. CPR, AED, and First Aid combination training is an excellent choice for both the community and workplace setting, and conforms to the most recent AHA Guidelines Update for CPR, ECC, and First Aid.

Do you need CPR AED and First Aid training, but don’t have time to sit through a class?  Then Blended Training is the solution for you!  Blended training uses the same core curriculum as the classroom CPR AED and First Aid course, but allows you to do the bulk of the course online at your own pace.  Once you complete the online training, you schedule a short in-person skill session with us (at no additional cost) to demonstrate the hands-on skills.  Once completed you get the same certification card as students that attended an in-person class.  This format is perfect for anyone with a tight schedule or that just want the flexibility of learning at their own pace, but still wants quality training.

Blended Learning combines online CPR, AED + First Aid training through the HSI Training Center online portal with classroom skills demonstration and is great for students or employers who cannot devote the time to a regular in-person class. Students first complete the online portion of the Blended Learning course at their own pace, then attend an in-person skills session with one of our certified instructors.  Students are emailed a course completion card upon successfully finishing both segments of the course.

Please Note: This course includes a digital course completion card and has been updated to the most recent HSI guidelines.
