Nationwide CPR & AED Certification Training

The Gold Standard in Organizational Readiness

In the high-stakes environment of a life-safety emergency, "good enough" is never the standard. While many vendors offer generic AED training, Premedics provides a comprehensive, outcome-based AED certification program designed to transform your workforce into a cohesive, rescue-ready team.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) claims hundreds of thousands of lives every year. In a corporate or public setting, the presence of an AED is only the first half of the equation; the second half is a confident, certified responder. At Premedics, we bridge that gap. As the nation’s premier AED management company, we don't just check a compliance box—we build a culture of readiness. Our American Heart Association aligned curriculum and proprietary management technology ensure that when seconds count, your people, your equipment, and your protocols are perfectly synchronized.

Training vs. Certification: Why the Outcome Matters

For EHS managers and HR directors, the distinction between "training" and "certification" is critical. Training is the process of learning a skill; certification is the formal validation of that skill, providing the legal and clinical "stamp of approval" required for national compliance.

The Risk of Improper Training

An uncertified or poorly trained employee represents a significant liability. In the event of an emergency, hesitation can be fatal. Furthermore, from a regulatory standpoint, many state and federal mandates require documented, up-to-date AED certification for designated responders. Premedics eliminates this risk by providing a standardized, high-quality curriculum that ensures every employee is tested against the most rigorous standards in the industry.

Scalable Training Models for the Modern Enterprise

Managing a safety program across multiple states, time zones, and facility types is a logistical challenge. Premedics has spent decades perfecting a delivery model that is both flexible and uncompromising in its quality.

1. Onsite Instructor-Led AED Training

Nothing replaces the impact of hands-on, face-to-face instruction. Our national network of certified instructors brings the classroom directly to your facility. Unlike "one-size-fits-all" classes, a Premedics instructor integrates your specific onsite AED locations and emergency action plans into the training. This "Expert On-Site™" approach ensures that your team isn't just learning on a generic trainer—they are learning how to save a life in your hallways, your breakrooms, and your warehouses.

2. Blended Learning: The Hybrid Solution

For organizations with high-turnover roles or distributed workforces, our blended learning model offers the perfect balance of convenience and compliance.

• Part 1 (Online): Employees complete the cognitive portion of the course via a high-quality, interactive online portal at their own pace.
• Part 2 (Skills Check): After completing the online module, employees meet with an instructor to demonstrate their physical proficiency with the AED and CPR techniques.

3. Virtual Skills Proctored Training

We utilize state-of-the-art technology to offer virtual skills checks that meet national certification standards. This is the ultimate solution for remote offices or small satellite locations where hosting a full onsite class may not be logistically feasible.

Trained Team Sync™: The End of Spreadsheet Chaos

The primary pain point for national safety directors isn't the training itself; it’s the administrative burden of tracking it. If you are managing 500 employees across 20 locations, keeping track of varying expiration dates is a recipe for a compliance gap.

Trained Team Sync™ is our proprietary, cloud-based solution that automates the entire lifecycle of your AED certification program.

• Centralized Compliance Dashboard: From a single login, see exactly who is certified, who is nearing expiration, and which locations are falling below your "Readiness Score."
• Automated Renewal Logic: Our system proactively alerts both the administrator and the employee 90, 60, and 30 days before a certification expires. We move the needle from "reactive" to "proactive."
• Instant Digital Credentials: Gone are the days of lost paper cards. Employees and managers can easily access, download, and verify digital certification cards 24/7. Once an employee accesses their card, it instantly becomes available for managers to download and verify—providing the exact documentation you need for OSHA inspections or internal safety audits.
• Seamless Scalability: As your company grows, Trained Team Sync™ grows with you. Adding new locations or onboarding new hires into the training queue takes seconds, not hours.

The Clinical Advantage: AHA-Aligned Curriculum

Premedics adheres strictly to the guidelines set forth by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC). This ensures that your team is learning the latest evidence-based resuscitation science.

When you choose Premedics for your AED training, your team learns:

• High-Quality CPR: Understanding the depth, rate, and recoil necessary for effective chest compressions.
• AED Operation: Step-by-step proficiency with the specific AED models located at your facility (Zoll, Physio-Control, Philips, etc.).
• Team Dynamics: How to coordinate a multi-person response to maximize the victim's chance of survival.
• Choking Relief: Essential techniques for both adult and pediatric emergencies.
• First Aid and Bloodborne Pathogen through the AHA.
• Emergency Oxygen through the Health & Safety Institute
• Basic Life Support through the AHA

Legal Safeguards & Medical Oversight

A robust AED program is more than just a training class; it is a legal framework. Premedics integrates your training with comprehensive Medical Direction and Oversight. This means that your training protocols are reviewed and authorized by a physician, providing an extra layer of protection under Good Samaritan laws.

By synchronizing your AED certification with our Medical Oversight services, you receive:

• State-Specific Compliance: We navigate the complex web of state-by-state requirements for you.
• Post-Event Reviews: If an AED is deployed, our medical team reviews the data and provides a formal debrief—a critical step for both clinical improvement and legal protection.
• Liability Indemnification: We stand behind the quality of our training and our management, absorbing the regulatory risk so your leadership can focus on your core business.

Industry-Specific Training Solutions

We recognize that the needs of a Fortune 500 corporate campus are different from those of a local church or a manufacturing plant. Premedics tailors its AED training and certification tracks for:

• Corporate & Industrial: Focusing on high-occupancy environments and workplace safety standards.
• Education & Schools: Specialized training for teachers, coaches, and administrators.
• Healthcare Facilities: Advanced training for non-acute medical staff.
• Worship & Non-Profits: Affordable, volunteer-friendly programs that maximize community safety.

Frequently Asked Questions (AED Training & Certification)

Q: How often is AED training required?

A: While most CPR/AED certifications are valid for two years, many safety experts and regulatory bodies recommend annual "skills refreshers" to combat skill decay.

Q: Does Premedics provide training for all AED brands?

A: Yes. As a brand-agnostic AED company, our instructors are well-versed in all major devices, including Zoll, Physio-Control (Stryker), Cardiac Science, Defibtech, Philips, and HeartSine. During your session, the instructor will review the specific model your facility uses and discuss it with your team. For the hands-on skills practice, we utilize high-quality simulated AED trainers to help your team master the universal, life-saving fundamentals of AED operation.

Q: How does Premedics handle training for high-turnover industries?

A: Our Blended Learning and Trained Team Sync™ platform are designed specifically for high-turnover environments. You can easily assign new hires to online modules and schedule periodic "skills-check days" to keep your entire facility compliant without constant scheduling headaches.

Q: What is the difference between AHA and Red Cross certification?

A: Both are highly respected; however, many healthcare and corporate environments prefer AHA-aligned courses as they are often considered the "Gold Standard" for clinical research and ECC guidelines. Premedics focuses on AHA-aligned curriculum to ensure the highest level of national acceptance and clinical rigor.
