quadro_bikeSo it’s that point of year again… CPR Training. Great. A later date wasted with bad videos and boring instructors. Pass me the toothpicks so that I can jam them under my eyelids to keep them open! Does this sound familiar?
Unfortunately, CPR and MEDICAL training are right up there on the fun scale with extended dental work and clearing up following a sick dog. How does that happen? It’s true that folks are more likely to inform their friends about the most tedious, boring, and monotonous class they just sat through than one which was just marginal.
If you draw the short straw and so are in charge of selecting a CPR class for your office, here’s how exactly to select a great class and become the hero of your peers.
1) Make sure the business routinely does onsite training. This way, you may get recertified right at your workplace. Less driving, less work lost, and an environment that is comfortable for you staff. Get references.
2) Learn how long the class is going to take and how long the certification will be valid for. Don’t make your people sit through an all day training for a 12 months certification. You can decrease their time and agony by going right through a company that provides 2 year certifications.
3) Ask how many manikins they’ll bring. If the ratio is 3 visitors to 1 manikin (3:1), run! 2:1 is acceptable, 1:1 is ideal. Why? More manikins = more individual practice = shorter class = everyone thinks you’re the hero.
4) The instructor ratio must be low as well. Just like the manikins, more instructors = shorter class. yoursite.com is 8 students to 1 1 instructor or less.
5) Finally, make sure that the instructors themselves have actually performed CPR on a real person before. Actual life experience makes all of the difference.
