About us

A small safety training outfit, run out of New Rochelle.

Westchester Safety Training instructor
Poolside, where a lot of this started — summers spent guarding and teaching swim.

Westchester Safety Training teaches Red Cross CPR, AED, and first aid to the people who are most likely to be standing there when something happens: parents, camp counselors, coaches, teachers, sitters, lifeguards, and the staff of small businesses around the county.

We're a licensed American Red Cross Training Provider, which means the card you leave with is the nationally recognized one. But the part we actually care about is what happens in the four hours before you get it. We cap open classes at eight students, we bring enough manikins and AED trainers that nobody shares, and we don't move on from a skill until everyone in the room has done it correctly with their own hands.

Most of our work is on-site. A camp calls in May with twenty counselors to certify before opening day; a preschool wants its whole staff current; a family wants a Saturday session in a living room before a new baby arrives. We load the gear, drive to New Rochelle, White Plains, Yonkers, Scarsdale, Mount Vernon, wherever, and run the class in the space you already have.

Pricing is on the site because we think hiding it is a bad way to treat people who are trying to do something responsible. Money that comes in goes back into equipment — more manikins means bigger groups get certified in a single afternoon, and better AED trainers mean the practice feels closer to the real thing.

Community-focused, action driven.

Founder & lead instructor

Red Cross certified instructor · CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers · Lifeguard

I started teaching because I kept meeting camp counselors and parents who'd technically been certified but had never actually pushed hard enough on a manikin to know what it feels like. I run classes small on purpose. If you leave my room, I want you to have done every skill with your own hands, not watched someone else do it.

How we work

Price it plainly
Every course cost is published. Group rates start at six people and we quote flat, not per-hour.
Keep classes small
Eight students max in open classes. It's the reason people leave feeling capable instead of certified.
Come to you
Camps, schools, offices, community centers, living rooms. We bring the manikins and AED trainers.
Teach the hard parts
Infant CPR, choking, an AED you've never touched. The uncomfortable skills get the most floor time.
Reinvest
What we earn goes into equipment so bigger groups can be trained in a single afternoon.
