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.

CPR 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.

Im in.

Approximate location for the course?

I have interest.

I would be very interested, depending on where and when.

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.

Approximate location for the course?

I also would like to know , cause I'm up north .

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.

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.

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

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.

I'm open to suggestions.

I think the location is centrally located and reasonable for everyone.

I live in Somerville. Bridgewater is good for me

I'm interested. How many do we need for a given price?

Is there a date or location for this yet? Thx!

Interested in Bridgewater area class with cpr addition.

I'm interested in taking this course (including the CPR addition). Bridgewater vicinity works for me.

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.

Interested.  Live in Jackson but will travel to Bridgewater.  Thanks for the effort in setting this up.

I am interested in first aid class + CPR. Count me in.

Hey gents. My buddy who teaches the class has had a few personal issues arise and will be putting this on hold for a while.

Sorry.
