Advantage First Aid Training and Safety

I have an in home child care and have been using Advantage for years for our CPR and First Aid certifications for my assistants and myself. The trainers are very professional and accommodating, going above and beyond to service our needs including trainings onsite.
Check out their website. It’s easy to navigate and you can register online or call and get instant attention.
I highly recommend Advantage, the trainers and the owner Charles.

What happens when you don’t watch for dates? Things expire. That was the case for my CPR/​First Aid card. I needed to retake the course ASAP for professional reasons and came across Advantage First Aid Training on the American Heart Association list of providers. They were the most reasonably priced and had a schedule that accommodated my needs.
Weekend availability was important because I couldn’t take off work to attend a 6 hour training (yes, it goes for an entire 6 hours). They offer Saturday and Sunday sessions all over the Metro Detroit Area (plus!). Classes are in Warren, Southfield, Commerce Township, Livonia, Clinton Township, and other cities also. I originally registered for a Southfield site session, but it was cancelled due to low enrollment as they require a minimum of 6 people to hold class. I ended up taking the scenic route drive to a Sunday session that was held in Commerce Township.
Registration was simple: either go through the AHA site and reserve a space followed by an email confirmation with link for payment or go directly to the company website and pay. I like that they use Paypal for payment and the process ran smooth. You are required to give a 3 business notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. The policy was outlined prior to registering and in the confirmation email so you wouldn’t miss it.
Class was taught by an instructor who was also an EMT, which was cool because she related what we were learning to situations that she had encountered. Size is limited to 12 people so we worked together in simulations which didn’t take too long. We received our CPR/​First Aid card that day with a reference book, pocket cards, and a nifty mask (you never know when you may need it).
Tips:
–Plan to wear comfortable clothing because you will spend time on the floor working on CPR manikins.
–Each site is different: Commerce was at a chiropractors office.
–Bring snacks because you are on your own:-)
–You have the option to do just CPR or Just First Aid if you don’t need both.
–The instructor mentioned that they do baby sitter cpr/​first aid classes. That is awesome!
