Yesterday while I was teaching a course to a child care provider, the students asked the question “Why didn’t we ever learn any of this in any of the other classes we’ve taken?” I can honestly say, that when this class was scheduled, I figured that I would get this question at some point in the class.
This is because not all first aid and CPR training providers are created equal. See, when they asked about out pricing, I provided them with our customary fee, which is not cut rate by any means, but far below some prices that I have seen. They told me that they have never paid that price and would need to get back with us which they did soon after to book their training.
At the end of the course, the attendees were asking their boss “Why haven’t we been using these people before?” While these comments always make us feel great knowing that we have done our job that we take pride in, it also makes us concerned as to how frequently this same scenario happens. I can tell you it happens quite frequently in fact. It is true what they say about getting what you pay for!
When it comes to emergencies, every second counts. Having the right knowledge and skills can mean the difference between life and death. Unfortunately, not all First Aid and CPR training providers offer the same level of quality and effectiveness. In this post, we’ll explore some common inadequacies of First Aid and CPR training from providers other than Emergency And Safety Trainers, LLC.
Instructors Focused on Profit
One of the most significant issues with some training providers is instructors who are more concerned with making a quick financial profit than with teaching the full curriculum. These instructors may rush through the material or skip essential components of the training to save time and increase their profits. This quick in, quick out, and move on to the next approach does nothing for the student but put a liability to them if they are required to act in an emergency situation and should perform inadequately.
At Emergency And Safety Trainers, LLC, we believe in prioritizing quality over quantity. Our instructors are committed to providing thorough instruction, ensuring that every student receives the knowledge and skills they need to respond effectively to emergencies.
Lack of Comprehensive Curriculum
Instructors who are focused on profit may not cover the full curriculum required for First Aid and CPR certification. They may skip important topics or cut corners to shorten the length of the training, leaving students ill-prepared to handle real-life emergencies.
At Emergency And Safety Trainers, LLC, we understand the importance of a comprehensive curriculum. Our courses follow national curriculum from the American Heart Association, American Red Cross, Health and Safety Institute, Emergency Care And Safety Institute, and International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation to ensure we cover all necessary topics in detail, including CPR techniques, basic first aid, and emergency response procedures. We believe that thorough instruction is essential for building confidence and competency in our students.
Limited Hands-On Practice
Effective First Aid and CPR training require hands-on practice to develop the necessary skills and confidence to respond to emergencies effectively. However, some providers may skimp on hands-on practice to save time and money, leaving students feeling unprepared.
At Emergency And Safety Trainers, LLC, we prioritize hands-on learning. Our courses include plenty of opportunities for students to practice their skills under the guidance of experienced instructors. From performing chest compressions to massive bleeding control, our students get the hands-on experience they need to feel confident in their abilities.
In conclusion, not all First Aid and CPR training providers are created equal. Choosing the right provider is crucial for receiving thorough instruction and developing the skills needed to respond effectively to emergencies. Don’t fall victim to inadequate training—choose Emergency And Safety Trainers, LLC, for quality instruction you can trust.
