CPR and First Aid Training

At Susquehanna Township EMS, our Community Training Institute can prepare your employees or group to respond to emergencies before professional help arrives. We offer training in Adult CPR, Child CPR, Infant CPR, First Aid and use to the AED (automated external defibrillator). We specialize in coming to your location, on your schedule to provide the training.
In addition, we have teamed with the Emergency Care and Safety Institute to offer programs in infection control and pediatric first aid under the auspices of the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons and American Association of Emergency Physicians.

All courses are taught by American Heart Association certified instructors in our employ. Pricing includes text books, instruction, practice materials, one-way-valve and certification card.

We maintain detailed records of all classes for at least as long as the certification period. This means that if your company needs to demonstrate that you have trained personnel and you can't find the records - we can!

We also participate in the AHA Online renewal skills demonstration program for BLS for Healthcare Providers.
