We teach your staff as if the only person they would save is a beloved family member; then ask them to remember that their job also expects them to perform effectively as well.
95% of those we train are only in our class because a job requires them to have this certification. However, we influence them to learn as if the only person they will ever have to use this for is a beloved family member. We are not done till they look us in the eye and report, confidently - that they could save that loved one. Then, we know they feel confident in the skills they learned from us.
Statistics show, that skills retention fades after 3 months when a skillset is unused - however, each student is also provided with their own course text, which has quick-reference reminder charts that we encourage them to use.
Over the years, we have recertified staff trained by other instructors, who tell us after our training that they feel they "finally 'got' it!" Some even reported having a class with zero hands-on time on a manikin. Most say, unlike other instructors, our classes were engaging, fun, and not at all boring.
