What Our New Instructors Are Saying
"A Game-Changer for My Workplace" "Our clinic needed an internal trainer to keep everyone compliant without the high cost of outside vendors. I took the BLS Instructor course at the Doraville location, and it was seamless. The instructors showed me exactly how to manage a classroom and remediate students effectively. It’s already saved our office thousands in training fees."
— Michelle V., Clinical Operations Manager
"Perfect for Busy Side-Hustlers" "I wanted to start my own CPR training business on weekends. Attentive Safety’s 7-day-a-week schedule allowed me to get certified on a Sunday without missing my weekday job. The 3:1 manikin ratio meant I got plenty of practice time. I felt fully prepared to register on the AHA Instructor Network the next day."
