EMS Safety’s CPR, AED and First Aid course is approved by the Department of Homeland Security, United States Coast Guard (USCG), National Maritime Center.
Documenting USCG-Approved Training
There are two documents a student will need to document successful course completion of the EMS Safety CPR, AED and First Aid course.
