ABOUT US - OUR MISSION
CPR STANDING UP.webp

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.
