Online vs. In-Person Classes:

Which is Best and Right For You?

In Person Safety Training Miami Florida

In-Person

Led by knowledgeable instructors, our in-person CPR courses combine lecture with hands-on skills sessions. Perfect for those who learn best in a traditional classroom setting, our in-person classes give you ample time to ask questions and become comfortable with the latest techniques.

Online Safety Training Miami Florida

Online

These online, self-paced courses deliver CPR training that can help you understand how to respond to a cardiac or breathing emergency. After passing a learning assessment with a score of 80% or better, you will have successfully completed the course. However, when you choose an online CPR class you will not have the opportunity to demonstrate your skill proficiency to a certified instructor, and therefore may not meet the requirements for workplace safety certification.

Blended Learning Safety Training Miami Florida

Blended Learning

Using a combination of self-paced, interactive online CPR classes and in-class skill sessions, our groundbreaking blended learning courses give you the ability to train on your schedule, and demonstrate your skills to a certified instructor.

Safety training is a hands-on skill. It’s something you need to feel. In our in-person classes, you get the chance to practice techniques such as proper First Aid techniques, CPR and the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) under the supervision of certified professionals. Many online courses offer certifications that do not meet local regulations or OSHA standards, leading to issues with validity.

Miami First Aid’s in-person courses are fully accredited and compliant, ensuring that your certification is recognized and respected.
