As the in-house CPR instructor for your organization, you want to be sure that you choose the right CPR training provider so your training program will run smoothly, be cost effective, and thoroughly equip your team members to save lives in an emergency. But how do you choose between providers? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there is no one-size-fits-all solution, there are several key factors that can help you make the right choice. Examining things like accessibility, technology and integrated tools, costs, and educational offerings will help you compare training providers and select the one that best fits your needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are five questions to ask when choosing a CPR training provider for your organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is It Accessible Remotely?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the first questions to ask when considering a CPR training provider is how accessible it is to you and your team. Are the course materials only available in hard copies or on a local device, or can you access them remotely? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you\u2019ll be conducting in-person classes at your workplace, having remote access to the course will help prevent issues if you run into technical problems or if any team members need to view the materials outside of class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, remotely accessible training makes it easy to offer your team flexible options. If some need to attend in-person training but others can\u2019t make it or would benefit more from a blended learning model, you can accommodate them all and ensure everyone gets the training they need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does it Stay Up-to-Date on ILCOR Guidelines?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Guidelines and best practices for administering CPR come from the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR)<\/a>. This organization meets every five years to discuss and refine recommendations for effective CPR and then updates previous guidelines accordingly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When choosing a CPR training provider, you\u2019ll want to be sure it can update its course content quickly whenever new ILCOR guidelines are published. That way, you\u2019ll know your training materials are always up-to-date and your workers are equipped with the most current data-backed best practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look for providers that take advantage of the latest technology<\/a> to stay up-to-date and that clearly state their adherence to ILCOR guidelines. It\u2019s also important to confirm that the provider you choose is accepted in your industry for compliance purposes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Much Does It Actually Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When comparing prices on CPR training providers, don\u2019t just look at the basic cost for the course or certification \u2014 there are often hidden costs<\/a> that factor into the total. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
