Our Mission

Learn Life-Saving CPR

Emergency First Trainers is an emergency care education company founded in 2001 by Jack Kesselring, NRP. Our mission is to provide high quality and affordable training for our clients, while maintaining exceptional customer service and satisfaction.  We specialize in on-site classes, taught by Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Technicians, Paramedics and Nurses who have the ability to bring the reality of emergency situations into the classroom, through their own “street experience”.  We are one of the few companies who utilize a 1:1 student-to-manikin ratio, which we believe enhances the learning experience. This provides a more comfortable environment and by allowing longer periods of hands-on practice. Our standards include for all instructors to hold current certifications by the American Heart Association (AHA) as well as American Safety Health Institute (ASHI) at the Basic Life Support level, although most hold both Basic and Advanced level teaching certifications.

Emergency Mecial Responser

Emergency Medical Responder

 

The HSI Emergency Medical Response for Non-EMS Personnel training program provides a detailed and comprehensive approach for managing out-of-hospital medical emergencies prior to the arrival of EMS.


The program is designed to provide non-EMS responders more depth and exposure to standard first aid training topics to provide richer and more advanced training. It meets and exceeds workplace first aid training requirements and satisfies the desire to learn more than just basic first aid without the burden associated with EMS provider training and certification.


HSI Emergency Medical Response for Non-EMS Personnel provides comparable training to that of Emergency Medical Responder, the base-level training for EMS providers, although the program is not intended for training EMS providers.


Intended Audience

This course is intended for individuals who are not EMS or healthcare providers but would like to acquire Emergency Medical Response skills, for example:

  • Law enforcement officers
  • Correctional officers
  • Security personnel
  • Event and crowd control staff
  • Lifeguards
  • Park rangers
  • Workplace Emergency Response Team (ERT) members
  • Disaster team members
  • Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) members
  • Athletic trainers
  • Outdoor guides
