Learn how you can be the first, first responder for your clients.

Have you ever wondered what you would do if your client had a health emergency during one of your sessions or classes?

 

Or maybe this has already happened to you, and you wish you'd known how to help outside of calling 9-1-1 and waiting for EMS to arrive.

If so, this 6-hour course will teach you the skills you need to know to best respond to medical emergencies that may arise in your practice, gym, or studio. This American Red Cross Training Course will cover how to execute proper CPR and utilize an AED as well as how to respond to sudden illnesses like strokes and seizures. 

We all hope that we would never encounter emergencies such as this in our practices, but they can happen at anytime! This class will help you feel prepared, so that you know the best way to help your clients when they're in need.

FAQs

Can I still get certified if I'm late or can only attend part of the workshop?

No. I cannot issue a certificate of completion for the workshop unless you're on time and are present for the full day. For example, I cannot offer 2 hours of credit if you can only attend for 2 hours. 

 

What is the cancellation policy?

There will be no refunds within two weeks of the scheduled workshop, only credit toward future workshops.

If cancelled before the two-week window prior to the class, a $50 cancellation fee will be applied. Processing of a participant’s refund will occur within 7-10 business days from the day the request is received.

What should I wear?

Please wear clothes that you can comfortably move around in. Jeans are ok as long as you can easily kneel in them to demonstrate CPR. Please do not wear low-cut shirts, dresses, or skirts. 

What will I need to bring?

I will provide all necessary equipment for the training (AEDs & Manikins). Please bring a snack, water, and wear clothes that are comfortable to move in!
 

What about lunch?

Because this is such a short class, we will not break for lunch. You will have time for snack during breaks 

I look forward to seeing you at this workshop! If you have any questions, please email me at caroline@moralesmethod.com.
