2025 Bios and Course Descriptions

Basic Life Support (BLS) recertification courses allow you to update your skills, refresh your memory and extend your certification by two years. Designed for those whose credentials are still valid (or within 30 days of expiring), BLS renewal courses make it possible to avoid a lapse in certification so you can stay certified and stay on the job.

This BLS course trains healthcare workers and other personnel to promptly recognize several life-threatening emergencies, give high-quality chest compressions, deliver appropriate ventilations and provide early use of an AED. 

Are you curious about welding and want to try it for yourself? During this 3 hour lass you will be interoduced to the world of welding by building a small project. The following is covered in this course: safety, different welding types, education and careers in welding, how to make basic welds using Gas Metal Arc Welding (MIG) and basic metal preparation and finishing.

Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED is geared towards anyone with little or no medical training who needs a course completion card for their job, regulatory (e.g., OSHA), or other requirements or anyone who wants to be prepared for an emergency in any setting. Upon successful completion of the course, students receive a course completion card, valid for two years.

Group Dynamic is a Wisconsin highway safety initiative aimed at assisting first-time OWI (operation while intoxicated) offenders in changing their impaired driving behavior. This course consists of a minimum of 21 hours of interactive education. Students receive information about short- and long-term effects of alcohol and other drugs, alcohol concentration and impairment and Wisconsin OWI-related laws and penalties. Students also complete a Personal Change Plan to help them avoid future problems with impaired driving. The emphasis of Group Dynamics is on education and changing impaired driving behavior, not on the treatment of addiction.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: Failure to attend ALL class sessions or being late will result in forfeiture of your entire class fee, and you will be put in non-compliance with the WI Department of Transportation.
