CPR, First Aid and Lifeguard Training in Rhode Island

Rhode Island packs a lot of coastline, camps, pools, schools and healthcare into a small state, and all of it needs people who are trained to respond. Wicked Safety Training brings CPR, BLS, first aid, AED and lifeguard certification to Rhode Island organizations at their own site. We are an American Red Cross Premier Licensed Training Provider, an AHA Training Site and an HSI Training Center, so whichever agency your employer names, we can issue it. Our instructors are working RNs, EMTs, paramedics and credentialed aquatics professionals with over 100 years of combined experience.

Courses Available in Rhode Island

Every course in our catalogue can be delivered privately at your Rhode Island site.

Group Training Built Around Your Team

Rhode Island organizations usually book privately, so the whole team certifies together on a date that works. Group, corporate and recurring-training discounts apply, and we build custom annual training plans for teams that certify the same staff every year.

Individuals are welcome too. Open-enrollment seats run from our Woburn classroom and can be booked online.

On-Site Training Across Rhode Island

We travel throughout New England for private on-site training, including Rhode Island. Aquatic courses can run at your own pool or waterfront, so guards train on the water they will be watching, and land-based courses run wherever you have a room.

We bring the manikins, AED trainers and supplies. You provide a room. Sessions can be split across shifts so nobody is left uncovered, we keep class sizes appropriate and instructor-to-student ratios correct, and we manage the roster and certification records for you.

Who This Training Is Designed For

• Pools, beaches, camps and swim clubs certifying guards and aquatics staff
• Schools and childcare centers keeping staff certifications current
• Healthcare and dental teams renewing BLS on a schedule
• Employers building responder programs and workplace safety compliance
• Recreation programs training seasonal staff before opening

Certification and Recertification

Every certification course we run includes hands-on skills practice. The Red Cross treats in-person and blended certification as a different thing from online-only education, and most employers are asking for the hands-on version.

Online registration and eCard delivery are available for most courses, with eCards issued within 10 days. Renewal windows are set by your employer or licensing body, so we confirm the exact certification details at registration.

Rhode Island Training Questions

Do you train in Rhode Island?

Yes. We travel throughout New England for private on-site training, including Rhode Island. Send us your headcount, site details and preferred dates for a quote.

Can you certify guards at our own pool or waterfront?

Yes. Aquatic courses can run at your own site so guards learn the entries, sightlines and blind spots they will actually be working.

Which certification will my employer accept?

That depends on the employer. We hold Red Cross, AHA and HSI credentials, so bring us the wording your employer uses and we will issue the matching card instead of sending you elsewhere.

What happens if I need to change my class date?

Need to change your date? Transfers requested more than 24 hours before class are available for a $50 fee, subject to availability. Aquatics courses follow a separate refund schedule. See our Terms.
