Bringing CPR and First Aid training to your workplace can make it easier to train an entire team without sending employees to different class dates. A little planning helps the day run smoothly and makes sure the course matches what your organization actually needs.
Use this checklist before requesting an on-site class from LP Health Directions.
Start with the reason for training
Write down who needs the training and why. Are you meeting an employer policy, preparing staff for emergencies, onboarding new employees or responding to a specific contract or licensing requirement?
If another organization will review the certification, ask for its exact wording. Important details may include the course name, issuing organization, hands-on requirement and expiration period.
Choose the certification your group needs
LP Health Directions certification is the standard choice for many Arizona group programs. It is practical for workplaces and organizations that need hands-on CPR, AED and First Aid training but do not specifically require an American Heart Association card.
If your organization requires AHA training, say so when you request the class. AHA Heartsaver and BLS are different courses, and BLS is generally intended for healthcare professionals and people in healthcare training programs. The organization receiving the cards should confirm which course it accepts.
Build an accurate participant count
An estimated head count is helpful, but a named roster is better. Ask managers to identify who is attending, which employees need accommodations and whether anyone has a deadline approaching.
Include alternates if attendance often changes. A reliable count helps LP Health Directions plan instructor coverage, equipment and materials.
Choose a practical training space
The room should give participants enough space to see the instructor and practice with training equipment. Consider:
- open floor area for manikins and skills practice;
- seating for explanations and written materials;
- access to electrical outlets when needed;
- parking and building access for instructors and equipment; and
- accessibility needs for participants.
Tell us about stairs, loading restrictions, security check-in or limited parking before the class date.
Protect the training time
Hands-on training works best when participants can stay for the full scheduled class. Avoid planning the course during a shift change, meal rush or meeting window that will repeatedly pull employees away.
Let supervisors know that participants will need uninterrupted time. If you have a large team, multiple sessions may be easier than one oversized group.
Prepare your staff before class
Send one clear message that includes the date, arrival time, location, expected class length and clothing guidance. Participants should wear clothing that allows them to kneel and practice comfortably.
Ask employees to arrive on time. Late arrivals may miss required instruction or skills practice.
Decide whether an office class is simpler
On-site training is valuable when an organization needs to train a group together. If only one or two people need a class, a scheduled Phoenix or Tucson office class may be faster and more economical.
LP Health Directions can help you compare both options. Group training starts at $25 per person, and minimums may apply based on the course, location and group size.
What LP Health Directions brings
LP Health Directions provides instructors, training manikins, AED trainers and course materials for on-site Arizona classes. The coordinator provides an appropriate space, an accurate roster and a realistic schedule.
When you request group training, include your city, preferred dates, approximate group size and the exact certification requirement. That gives us what we need to recommend the next step without a long chain of follow-up questions.
