Safety-Educators offers a CPR and First Aid course at the Scotland Community Center for both new certifications and renewals. The session is tailored to BLS Initial Provider, BLS Renewal, or Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED based on participant needs. BLS for Healthcare Providers is intended for patient-facing roles such as hospital, clinical, EMS, and similar positions, while Heartsaver CPR AED suits non-medical workers or those who do not work directly with patients. First Aid covers essential topics for providing emergency assistance. Tuition is $135 per student and includes the student manual. No prepayment or pre-class assignments are required, and AHA listings are informational only. Please message in advance to confirm the specific course you need. Credentialing is through the American Heart Association and is valid for two years. Students who successfully complete the class receive their card at the end of the session. The AHA does not renew credentials issued by other organizations, so anyone with a non-AHA certification must take the full Initial Provider course to obtain an AHA card. Current AHA BLS Providers can complete renewal in about 2.5 hours, and Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED typically takes around 4 hours. Safety-Educators also provides additional offerings through the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross, the American College of Surgeons, the National Rifle Association, the USCCA, and EMS continuing education credit options. For questions, call 717-504-5737 or email info@safety-educators.com.

The aim is to provide a welcoming, healing environment to connect with others who understand and to cultivate relationships that can continue outside the group for support during difficult times in the journey through loss.
