American Heart Association Classes
Whether you’re interested in first aid, CPR training or even more advanced certifications like ACLS, BLS or PALS, Triumph Training & Services offers face-to-face courses with skills sessions. Our training features group interaction and training from one of our American Heart Association instructors, in a classroom. Online courses are self-directed, allowing participants to work at their own pace, followed by a skills session. A skills session is a practice and assessment session, a requirement of the American Heart Association’s e-learning program.
FIRST AID CLASS AND CPR-AED: 3-6 hours
Hours: Every Saturday
First aid/CPR- AED courses Incorporate the latest science and teach students to recognize and care for a variety of emergencies such as burns, cuts, scrapes, sudden illnesses, head, neck, back, heat and cold emergencies and how to respond to respiratory and cardiac emergencies for victims approximately 12 years and older.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) It is done on people who have stopped breathing and have no pulse. It is vital in life-threatening situations, such as a drowning accident or cardiac arrest. The goal of CPR is to compress the chest and heart so that blood can be pumped to the brain, albeit weakly. Quick action is required. If CPR is not started within two minutes of the heart-stopping, brain damage can develop quickly. People who resist CPR training often do so because they think they don’t have time; Others are simply put off at the thought of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The fact is that most CPR classes take only one to three hours to complete and that word of mouth is no longer considered a standard part of CPR.
As part of First Aid Certification, You will first learn what your role as a supplier is. This course teaches students critical skills to respond to and handle an emergency in the first few minutes until emergency medical services arrive. Students learn the duties and responsibilities of first responders; first aid actions for medical emergencies, including severe suffocation, heart attack and stroke; and skills to handle environmental injuries and emergencies, including external bleeding, broken bones and sprains, and bites and stings.
These courses are for anyone with limited or no medical training, who needs a course completion card in First Aid/CPR-AED to meet labor, regulatory or other requirements.

Blood Borne Pathogens Class: 2 Hours
Schedule: Every Saturday
The Bloodborne Pathogens training is designed for those who are at risk for on the job exposure to blood and other bodily fluids in the workplace. The course teaches staff how bloodborne pathogens are spread, how to avoid exposure and what to do if exposed to infectious material. This training is for one looking to obtain an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Bloodborne Pathogen training certification to satisfy the training requirement under the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen standard and to provide to an employer/organization as proof of training for compliance purposes. OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen compliance for an organization revolves around protecting your workforce from the health hazards around exposure to blood and Other Potentially Infectious Materials (OPIM). The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen standards require that employers provide an annual awareness training to employees that have regular exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM), have an exposure control plan to prevent and handle exposure incidents, and establish work practice and engineering controls to minimize potential exposure.
What are bloodborne pathogens?
Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms in human blood that can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include, but are not limited to, hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Needlesticks and other sharps-related injuries may expose workers to bloodborne pathogens. Workers in many occupations, including first responders, housekeeping personnel in some industries, nurses and other healthcare personnel, all may be at risk for exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
Cost: $55
PEDIATRIC ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT (PALS) CLASS
Schedule: Every other Wednesday of the month
The Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) class is for healthcare providers who respond to emergencies in infants and children and for personnel in emergency response, emergency medicine, intensive care and critical care units.
What does this course teach?
The PALS Provider Course aims to improve outcomes for pediatric patients by preparing healthcare providers to effectively recognize and intervene in patients with respiratory emergencies, shock, and cardiopulmonary arrest by using high‐performance team dynamics and high‐quality individual skills. The course includes a series of case scenario practices with simulations that reinforce important concepts. Upon successful completion of all the patient cases, students must pass the multiple-choice exam with a minimum score of 84%.
