This enables you, the student, to learn from the people who have used the skills taught in the real world and offer their insight and knowledge.
We Use the Very Best Equipment
Our CPR manikins are the latest in technology from Prestan. They are outfitted with software designed to provide students with real-time feedback on the rate, depth, and quality of their compressions and breaths.
As for our EMS training equipment, we don't use any equipment which we wouldn't be willing to take into the field with us.
