COVID POLICY UPDATES:
We have always kept our class sizes small, but we are now reducing the number of students in each class to help with social distancing. We are also disinfecting our equipment more often as well as regularly disinfecting busy areas. We also ask students to wash their hands often and use our provided hand sanitizer.
Consider an Online Hybrid Option. We are adding more appointments for the online/in-person hybrid FastTrack classes where you can do most of the learning online. These offer the same AHA certification as the classroom- based courses but significantly reduces the in-person time.
No Refunds on Hybrid/online courses.
