First in state to offer online CPR courses
As the first private-sector CPR instruction business to offer online coursework, Hearts4kauai is reportedly growing despite the current economic climate.
Hearts4kauai has been teaching and offering face to face American Heart Association CPR and First Aid instruction since January of this year.
After meeting with representatives from the American Heart Association about its eLearning program, Steve and Cheryl Ann Farrell knew the choice was clear.
Cheryl Ann Farrell worked as the Regional Director of the American Heart Association from 2007-2008. During that time, she learned of the need for offering AHA CPR and first aid courses from the numerous calls she received in the office. Her husband, Steve Farrell, is an avid surfer and has had to recover drowned victims in the past.
After the AHA closed its Kaua‘i office last August, Steve and Cheryl Ann were already working on their instructor credentials. With the help of their official training center at KVMH, former Kaua‘i AHA Board Chair Dave Walker, and other CPR trainers both Steve and Cheryl Ann are AHA Certified Instructors.
Hearts4kauai can provide a full variety of CPR and related courses for individuals such as massage therapists, early school providers as well as those who need Health Care Provider credentials.
Additionally, their Web site offers other courses such as First Aid and Bloodborne Pathogens. They offer special pricing for large groups and non-profits as well.
