American Heart Association (AHA) Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) classes are available to groups in our coverage area.

Arrangements are made on an individual group basis for dates and times available for classes.

Advance notice/scheduling is necessary for any CPR course as we need to make arrangements to have one instructor for every six to eight people in the class.

Besides doing BLS (CPR) courses for licensed EMS professionals, we also offer various CEUs (continuing education units) during the course of the year. Several classes are already scheduled for this calendar year and are shown in the following schedules.

EMS Training Schedule (PDF format)
Please contact the individual department sponsoring the class to verify date, time and place for the class.
During the September through May time period, MAFFAA also sponsors monthly CEUs taught by Kellogg Community College faculty. These classes generally cover the state required topics necessary to renew EMS licenses and many of them include practical skills and CEUs. The schedule for these classes will be posted as soon as the schedule is confirmed with KCC for the coming school year.
