You’re probably wondering, what does AVERT stand for, and why is it important? AVERT stands for Active Violence Emergency Response Training. With the current challenges our country is facing surrounding active shooters, it is very possible that you or your business, could find yourselves in an emergent situation. My mission in creating this business is to prepare the general public for unfortunate events that can and have proven to happen.

Our Training Programs

CPR Certification: CPR is one of the most vital skills you can learn, and it can make the difference between life and death in an emergency. At CNY CPR & AVERT Certification, I offer a variety of CPR courses tailored to different needs and skill levels. From basic CPR for laypersons to advanced courses for healthcare professionals, my training programs are designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to perform CPR confidently and effectively.

First Aid Training: In addition to CPR, first aid skills are crucial in providing immediate care in a variety of situations, from minor injuries to life-threatening emergencies. My first aid courses cover a wide range of topics, including wound care, burns, fractures, and more. I teach you how to assess situations quickly and provide the appropriate care until professional help arrives.

AVERT Active Shooter Training Certification: Active Violence Emergency Response Training (AVERT) is an innovative program designed to prepare you for the unthinkable-an active shooter or other violent situation. In this course, I teach you how to recognize the signs of potential violence, how to respond effectively to protect yourself and others, and how to administer life-saving care to victims of violence. This training is essential for workplaces, schools, and any organization that wants to be prepared for emergencies.

AED Training: Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are critical tools in the event of sudden cardiac arrest. My AED training programs teach you how to use these devices effectively, providing you with the confidence to act quickly and decisively when every second counts. This course is often combined with CPR training for a comprehensive approach to cardiac emergency response.

BLS (Basic Life Support) for Healthcare Providers: For healthcare professionals, BLS certification is essential. This course covers the advanced resuscitation techniques needed in a healthcare setting, including high-quality CPR, team dynamics, and use of airway devices. I ensure that you are well-prepared to meet the demands of your profession with confidence and competence.

Customized Workplace Training: Every workplace is unique, and the safety needs of your organization may differ from others. I offer customized training solutions that address the specific risks and challenges of your workplace. From basic first aid to comprehensive emergency response plans, I'll work with you to develop a program that meets your organization's needs.

What to Expect in Our Classes

Engaging and Interactive Learning: I believe that the best learning happens when you are fully engaged and actively participating. My classes are designed to be interactive, with plenty of hands-on practice, group discussions, and scenario-based training. You won't just sit and listen; you'll be involved in the learning process from start to finish.

Supportive Environment: Learning life-saving skills can be intimidating, especially if it's your first time. I strive to create a supportive and encouraging environment where you feel comfortable asking questions, practicing techniques, and building your confidence. I'm here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring that you leave each class feeling empowered and prepared.

Comprehensive Materials: All of my courses come with comprehensive materials, including manuals, handouts, and access to online resources. These materials are designed to reinforce your learning and provide you with a reference you can use long after the course is complete. Whether you need to refresh your memory or dive deeper into a specific topic, you'll have the resources you need at your fingertips.

Certification and Continuing Education: Upon successful completion of your course, you will receive a certification that is recognized nationwide. For healthcare providers and professionals, continuing education credits are often available. I also offer recertification courses to keep your skills and credentials up to date.
