About Safety First Training

Safety First CPR and Safety Training, LLC is a certified training center under the American Safety & Health Institute and the American Red Cross. It was founded in 2011 for the original purpose of teaching Community CPR and Basic First Aid courses, but we have since expanded the course curriculum to include Child & Babysitting Safety, Swim Lessons, Lifeguard Certification and more.

We set out to start a safety company in Jacksonville and Northeast Florida that would be like no other, one that would have something to offer all members of the family. Indeed, we have succeeded by offering a variety of safety classes:

Summer Swim Lessons for children ages 3+ (limited to specific neighborhoods)
Babysitting Safety for ages 11-16
Community CPR AED and Pediatric CPR AED
Basic First Aid and Pediatric First Aid
Lifeguard Certification (ages 15+)
Bloodborne Pathogens

Designed With the Students in Mind

From the beginning, we at Safety First designed our courses from the student perspective. We, too, have sat through training programs that took too much time, were uninteresting, were all lecture style, and that we didn’t even remember once we left the classroom. We wanted our courses to be different. In our classroom, we take a very hands-on approach. We spend more time doing hands-on practice and role- playing emergency scenarios than we do watching videos or being tied to a book. We recognize that the longer students sit in one position during class, the less they remember. We have developed a classroom style that teaches all the necessary components of the course. However, we do it actively and in the most efficient amount of time. Additionally, we are flexible and able to cater private courses to suit the specific needs of the groups who’ve hired us. Yes, we do often have set courses that are open to the public, but we specialize in doing on-site training with private groups.

Safety First continues with the mission of being the best in Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Northeast Florida. As always, our motto is “We keep your Safety First!”
