When asked to comment about competing training centers Cindy stated “competition is good – it keeps integrous training centers striving to deliver the best information in the most effective ways possible. What concerns me are the drive-through centers. We saw a web site today that offered 25 minute classes that issue a card for a discounted price. My hunch is that company won’t be around 2 years from now and that their students are sorely lacking the skills and information needed to truly take command of a resuscitation scene. We all agree that no one would want their life in the hands of a nurse or paramedic who took the route of least resistant and cut corners on their training. ” “Our classes are media-based, interactive, skills intensive and taught by some of the best instructors in the business. And, I must add, they are fun – we believe that having a good time with other people with the same goals adds to the learning experience.” “I tell people that this is what we do – this is not a part time job that supplements other activities. We have a full time staff, two conference rooms, a toll free number, on-line registration, physician medical directors, web-based learning, 100+ training manikins, and more than $100,000.00 in AEDS, cardiac monitors, generators, advanced equipment backed with 28 years of experience as a healthcare education company. All with one purpose in mind - to teach our students how to resuscitate.”
