Welcome to Charlotte Safety Training & Aquatics Consulting
It is our goal to provide affordable, trusted, and accessible CPR, First Aid, and Water Safety Training so people may react quickly and effectively in the event of an emergency. We specialize in Aquatics Courses such as American Red Cross Lifeguard Training and Water Safety Instructors, and also offer traditional Health & Safety Courses such as CPR, First Aid, AED, Bloodborne Pathogens, etc. Charlotte Safety Training can also assist Lifeguards/ Swim Instructors in their job searches upon completing one of our courses. We provide on-site in service training and/ or consulting specifically tailored to meet the needs of your facility and staff, and will travel outside of the Charlotte area to conduct courses. Please email or call for a facility Safety Evaluation/ Consulting Session.
We are committed to providing the most effective American Red Cross Lifeguard Training/ Water Safety/ CPR & First Aid courses available, Including many Aquatics courses that can only be found here. Some benefits of Training with us include:
- Aquatics courses (Lifeguard Training, Lifeguard Instructor, WSI) offered YEAR ROUND - not seasonally. Don't see a schedule that works for you - call for information on scheduling a private course. We can offer most of our courses as private courses if needed (minimum number of participants may be required).
- Courses tailored for our specific audience - a medical office or dental office CPR/ AED presentation will differ from the same course offered for non-medical staff, etc. We also offer Review Courses for those who need training for their profession.
- Extensive additional information in our Aquatics courses, backed by years of experience as a Lifeguard in Beach & Waterfront settings, pool settings, and as a Lifeguard Instructor & Instructor Trainer for many different types of Aquatic environments. In depth coverage on the process of drowning, behaviors of the different types of swimmers, what to look for and how to watch the pool, instinctive drowning response, and how to handle certain situations at a single lifeguard facility.
- Equipment: We have a large quantity of rescue equipment on hand for each class. This ensures our ability to provide an effective learning enviornment for even the largest of classes. We are able to keep Lifeguard group sizes small, typically around 3-4 participants which allows for more practice time and hands-on experience. For our Health & Safety (CPR and First Aid courses) we usually have enough manikins and supplies for each participant to have their own manikin for the entire class. This allows us to keep participants engaged in the learning process and makes class time more enjoyable for everyone involved.
- Office staffed all year - if you need copies of certifications in December, we can help you with that! Extensive records are kept on all of our courses and most information can be verified and reproduced as quickly as you need it.
- Emergency planning assistance (help making an Emergency Action Plan and training staff to implement the plan).
- We TRAVEL!
- Health & Safety/ Aquatics courses are our specialty with over 50 course offerings annually in Aquatics alone.
- Tuition assistance available for those in need.
- Additional consulting & training on the Interview process, how to prepare for your interview, etc. Provided by Leaderquest Development (this service provided by a third party and requires an additional fee).
