Bringing real life experience to the classroom.
Our instructor staff draws on a wide array of training and experience to ensure your classes are not only relevant but accurate. Police Officers, Firefighters, EMT’s, Rescue Technicians, Emergency Room Doctors, and Combat Military Veterans to name a few.
Preparing you to handle situations and save lives cannot be regurgitated out of book or a video. When you go to a class, ask the staff “have you done this in real life before?” Sadly we often see that the person teaching you the class never has performed CPR, applied a tourniquet, packed a wound, or been in an active-shooter type event.
How can they then tell you what you should do or what to expect if they haven’t done it themselves!?!
Rest assured we don’t play those games, come check us out and you decide for yourself!
