Safety First FAQ

Who do you teach?
Our specialty is teaching groups onsite at their locations: businesses, churches, neighborhood amenity centers and sometimes even peoples’ homes. We do not have a storefront, so we do not offer frequently scheduled classes to individuals in the general public. We do hold these types of classes periodically at our church building, however, and you can look for an open class to register for HERE. But the majority of our classes are for established groups who need the training.

How long is my American Safety and Health Institute certification valid for? Our Community CPR/AED, Basic First Aid and Child & Babysitting Safety certifications are valid for two years. Bloodborne Pathogens is valid for one year.

Will I receive a certification card at the end of the class?Upon successful course completion, certification cards are issued within 1-2 business days. (If needed sooner, let us know.) They are emailed in PDF format and can then be electronically saved to your device as well as printed. The wallet size card may be cut out for you to carry with you.

Do you provide on-site training?Yes, we are happy to come to your site at no extra charge if you have four or more participants.

How long does the class take to complete?The lengths of our courses vary, depending on the course specifics – for example, a CPR/AED course for Adult CPR takes less time than one that also includes Child and Infant CPR. Class length is also dependent on what course format is chosen. We have a blended learning format, which combines individual online coursework from home with a shorter in-person hands-on classroom course. Contact us and we can provide the length of time needed for your specific course.

How can I register for one of your courses?When we have a class available for the general public, it is posted HERE.

Do I have to pre-register for your course? Yes, if you want to attend one of our scheduled courses you must register ahead of time. We don’t take walk-ins.

Can I pay for my safety training class with cash or a money order?No, not unless there is a rare exception and it is prearranged with us. Since we require pre-registration online, you must pay via credit card online.

Will I have fun in the class? Yes! We keep our classes very hands-on and with a dose of humor. Learning should be fun!

What will my certification card look like? Your card will be an official cardfrom the American Safety & Health Institute. Note: There are acouple of medical agencies that will only accept American Heart Association certification. If you are becoming certified for a Nursing program or other medical-related reason, please check to make sure they will accept certification by the American Safety & Health Institute.

What types of safety training classes do you offer? Safety First offers classes for Community CPR/AED (Infant, Child & Adult), Bloodborne Pathogens, Basic First Aid, Child & Babysitting Safety, Lifeguard Certification, Swim Lessons and Women’s Safety & Self-Defense.

Where are your classes held? Our private group classes are taught at the client’s location. Courses for the general public are often held at Englewood Christian Church. Any classes open to the general public will have the location listed on the registration page.

Do I have to buy a textbook for the class? No. We will provide a textbook to use during class if needed and then when you get your certification card, there will be a link on the back of the card that provides you with an online copy of the textbook that you can download for your convenience.

Which hours and days can I schedule a class at my location?We are flexible, pending instructor availability. Inquire with us at [email protected] and we’ll do our best to work out a date and time that works well for you.

What do I need to bring to class? We basically provide everything. Feel free to bring a snack or meal if needed, depending on the time of day of the class. Wear comfortable clothes that you can move in.
