In most instances of cost-cutting efforts, training staff is often compromised in quality or eliminated entirely.

One employer was thrilled to identify a provider such as ProTrainings.com that significantly reduced training budgets, yet feedback from staff was more positive about the quality of the instruction than ever before. This person indicated they were spending over $60.00 per person for CPR and first aid certification and were compensating staff for over six hours of labor time. Both issues were reduced to one-third the original amount.

Unless your state mandates annual training, there are some providers that may adjust the certification cycle between one or two years depending on your preference or requirement. Studies indicate that if CPR is not used or reviewed every 13 weeks (give or take), vital information and the confidence to respond to a crisis is greatly diminished.*

The point is even once a year is too long between certifications, thus frequent review of the material becomes more critical. ProTrainings.com is one provider that offers weekly video refreshers by email after certification to ensure better results and more confidence regardless of the certification timeline. Employers now have the best of both worlds, frequent review with a longer time between certifications.

These trainings include CPR, First Aid and Bloodborne Pathogens.

Employers without internal training centers are turning more to accredited providers of web-based learning in these areas.

ProTrainings.com offers accredited group programs that allow employees to train in their location eliminating travel expenses and loss of productivity.

In researching the changes in the Red Cross pricing they state, among other reasons:

“Establishing consistent, market-based pricing that enables the Red Cross to recover our costs and support our mission.”

They have also switched from one-year certification to two-year certification that brings them into alignment with most national providers of CPR certification.

Interesting to note, the price increase is nearly equal to web-based CPR and yet instructors must still teach the class.
