Hybrid Learning

BLENDED LEARNING

Make the most of a flexible, hybrid approach that combines online cognitive learning and in-person, hands-on skills practice for your certification, delivered by an authorized instructor.

Classes begin 2018!

In 2016 I began working for the  Department of Child Safety. The hours did not permit time for CPR classes. I am now back in the Dysart District and my hours are more stable, allowing me to get back into instructing CPR classes.

In the interim, I was able to complete an instructor development class through ASHI and a Structured English Immersion (SEI) class through the district. I am looking forward to "resuscitating" Breath of Life Training Center in 2018!

Training can be done at your work site. Special pricing is available for groups of 5 or more and invoicing for larger groups is an option.

Please text 480-416-3566 or email at breathoflifetc@gmail.com for more information.
This summer, Breath of Life will be able to offer classes in Spanish. Please watch for details.

G2015; Changes in 2016!

ILCOR, the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation, is an organization made up of the principal resuscitation groups of the world, such as the American Heart Association (AHA) in the United States. ILCOR provides an underlying foundation for the most effective approach to resuscitation by facilitating the collection and review of all scientific research on cardiopulmonary resuscitation, emergency cardiac care, and, more recently, first aid. 
Historically, ILCOR has operated on a 5-year cycle of releasing detailed information on the science of resuscitation and related recommendations on how to best provide emergency care. The latest release occurred on October 15, 2015.

Don't panic! Even though the training that you took in 2015 did not include these changes, your certification remains valid. The next time you recert, your training will include these new guidelines.
