Emergency Services Training

Emergency Services training at our university includes a range of practical, skills-based offerings designed to promote safety, preparedness, and rapid response in emergencies. These training courses include various levels of CPR certification, wilderness first aid, babysitting safety, and EMS refresher courses. Together, these offerings emphasize lifesaving skills, situational awareness, effective decision-making, and appropriate responses across community, outdoor, and clinical settings, supporting both professional development and public safety readiness.

Our university offers training and certification through the Health & Safety Institute (HSI), a nationally recognized organization that provides accessible, skills-based education for healthcare providers, students, and community members. HSI courses emphasize practical application, real-world scenarios, and flexible learning formats while aligning with current evidence-based guidelines. Certifications are widely accepted across healthcare, education, childcare, and community settings.

We also offer training and certification through the American Heart Association (AHA), the gold standard for resuscitation education in many clinical and hospital-based environments. AHA courses focus on high-quality CPR, team dynamics, and adherence to the most current resuscitation of science and guidelines. AHA certifications are commonly required for healthcare professionals working in acute care, hospital, and advanced clinical settings.

In a nutshell: In general, HSI certification is well-suited for students, community members, and non-acute care settings, while AHA certification is typically preferred or required for hospital-based and advanced clinical roles.
