First Aid & CPR Training

First aid instructors teach CPR, AED, first aid, and emergency response through American Heart Association or Red Cross certifications.

With CPR and first aid required for many professions and workplaces, training generates revenue of $85,000-$290,000 with 85-95% margins.

The business requires instructor certification (AHA, Red Cross), training materials and manikins, CPR certification cards, liability insurance, and engaging instruction capability.

Services include CPR and AED certification, first aid training, workplace emergency response, childcare provider training, lifeguard and aquatics training, and recertification classes.

Revenue through per-student fees $50-$150.

Success factors include AHA or Red Cross instructor certification, engaging hands-on training delivery, flexible scheduling (evenings, weekends), serving workplaces, childcare, and healthcare, and building recurring relationships.

Marketing focuses on businesses, childcare centers, schools, healthcare, and community groups.

With CPR and first aid widely required in 2025, first aid training offers life-saving education opportunities serving certification needs with instructor credentials and manikins as considerations.
