Students can choose from a large selection of available classes and schedules.

CPR/AED

Certification

Students receive certificate cards upon passing a program. To pass, a student needs complete attendance, at least 75 percent on the written exam, and good return demonstration of skills. Wall-mount certificates are available upon request. The certificates are valid for three years and can be renewed.

Recertification programs are available for renewal of expired or near-expiry certification twice weekly. First aid recertification is 6-8 hours long, inclusive of CPR level C recertification.

Extra training

Students with scheduling problems or big groups of trainees like companies can book private instructors for special training. The instructors are all certified by St Mark James and can be hired to special training at home or workshops and conferences. Just send an e-mail or give a call to inquire about rates and schedules.

Danger signs for insect bites

While most insect bites are minor and can heal on their own with little to no management, some of them can cause severe allergic reactions like anaphylaxis. If a victim starts to manifest nausea, facial swelling, difficulty breathing, abdominal pain, and low blood pressure after an insect bite, bring them immediately to a hospital or call your local emergency number.

Insects that cause the worst bites are bees, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, and fire ants. Typical insect bites that are minor but can cause small reactions are mosquitoes, ticks, biting flies, ants, scorpions, and spiders.
