MedicYeti 96 Posted February 3, 2015 I reached out to a former employer who does a lot of training. He offers 2 classes; a basic bleeding control which is 2 hours and focuses on bleeding control. The other class is written by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians and is geared toward the public, not EMS workers. This is an 8 hour class that is first aid and traumatic injury instruction. It comes with a certification and a text book. I asked about cost and he says it depends on the overhead and number of people attending.The course description: "first responder" can be anyone who chooses to help, prior medical knowledge isn't needed.http://www.naemt.org...stResponse.aspxCPR can be added to the class if there is interest, it's an extra 2 hours.I used to do a lot of teaching; Paramedic, EMT, American Heart Association classes but have cut back to spend time with my family - this is why I'm no longer employed with this guy. I'm not benefiting from this, I just know him to be knowledgeable and a good instructor.If there is interest and about 10 people to commit to the class he will run one.

MedicYeti 96 Posted February 3, 2015 If any of you gentlemen or lady's have a connection for a course - like a member of a Fire Department let me know. maybe a Saturday or Sunday in late March, early April. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tuktuk 16 Posted February 3, 2015 Approximate location for the course? I also would like to know , cause I'm up north . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MedicYeti 96 Posted February 4, 2015 I am a resident of Cape May County for more then ten years and have developed the "Cape May County Mantality"; meaning "up north" could be Burlington county or Canada. Is the Bridgewater Area acceptable (understanding this is just a general idea, a location still needs to be secured). Late March/early April. On a weekend. Thoughts.

Old Glock guy 1,127 Posted February 4, 2015 haha copy that. im in bergen county. Bridgewater is an hour away from me, I think it works for me personally. Passaic county here. Likewise, could probably do Bridgewater, but farther north would be better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arbelest 29 Posted February 4, 2015 ehh.... you can count me out. Most of you seem to be up North so that will work well for you guys, I'm not really up for that much traveling Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blksheep 466 Posted February 4, 2015 Its an hour for me also, North. It has to be kept centrally located to get the most interest, even though the location is already in favor of the North which is fine. If there is truly interest in doing this dont give the OP a hard time organizing it. Its a pain in the ass to get something like this done here.

GrumpyOldRetiree 38 Posted February 25, 2015 I'm interested in taking this course (including the CPR addition). Bridgewater vicinity works for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MedicYeti 96 Posted February 26, 2015 Hello. I haven't forgotten. I have been researching and talking to places in the Bridgewater area, still looking late March, early April. I am open to suggestions. One of Near by departments has an appropriate area but is asking a lot so I'm still looking. Class materials will be about 80/head (CPR is additional). This includes the books, the bandages, hand outs, ano other items. Add on a location ($500 for one near by FD) and divide by number of students. Sorry for being non-committal I'm still working on this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
