Putting this into words has been challenging for me. I started my instructor journey in 2018. 8 years later, with the help of some great people around me and a few great opportunities that have essentially fallen into my lap, First Response Education received notice this morning that we were approved as a Training Site for ACLS and PALS, adding to our existing BLS Approval. What started as a quest to ensure that my colleagues at work had access to quality training locally, has now grown to ensuring that agencies and individuals across Northern Michigan could have that same access. If you've considered teaching CPR as a career or even just to help out your agency, it's within reach. The same now applies for ACLS and PALS. We've conquered some barriers that have kept agencies from being able to provide this training in house. We've already helped agencies like Cherry Grove Fire Department, Denton Township EMS, Leland Fire Rescue, Jordan Valley EMS, Iosco County EMS, and several more be able to bring more training "in house ", and we're not planning on stopping there. If you want to find out more about how you can provide training in house for your staff, reach out to us. We can help. If you're already an ACLS or PALS Instructor and looking for a streamlined process for providing courses or saving on certification costs, let's chat and see of we can make that happen. Thank you to those who have entrusted First Response Education with their training needs. The future is looking great.
