Do I have to pre-register for the safety training 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 the 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.
How do I know if the training class is full?
If the safety training course is full, the registration page will indicate that it is sold out.
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 card from the American Safety & Health Institute. Note: There are a couple 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 Jacksonville offers classes for Community CPR/AED (Infant, Child & Adult), CPR Pro (Basic Life Support for the medical provider), Bloodborne Pathogens, Basic First Aid, Child & Babysitting Safety and Women’s Safety & Self-Defense.

Where are your classes held?

Do I have to buy a textbook for the class?
No. We will provide a textbook to use during class 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.
