CPR/First Aid

Essential skills, accessible training.

  • At Don't Panic, we recognize that life-saving skills shouldn't be locked behind a high price point or a full day of testing. Whether you are a business needing to meet strict federal guidelines, or a group of neighbors wanting the peace of mind to handle an emergency, we have a custom hands-on program for you.

    We partner with local businesses, organizations, and clubs to host on-site, practical training directly in the Black Hills.

    Choose the pathway that best fits your crew:

    Pathway 1: The "Don't Panic" Community Workshop (Non-Cert)

    Perfect for families, outdoor clubs, scout troops, and budget-conscious groups who want the skills without the administrative overhead.

    • Focus: Adult/child CPR, choking relief, and bleeding control.

    • Time: 2 Hours

    • Cost: $30 per person

    • The Vibe: Fully hands-on, zero slides, zero testing stress. (Note: This pathway does not satisfy OSHA or state licensing mandates).

    Pathway 2: Professional Workplace Certification (Red Cross / HSI)

    Required for daycares, healthcare providers, construction crews, and organizations that must satisfy local, state, or federal workplace safety regulations.

    • Focus: Full OSHA-compliant Adult/Pediatric CPR, AED operation, and First Aid certification.

    • Time: 3 to 4 Hours

    • Cost: $50 per person (includes digital certification card)

    • The Vibe: Nationally-recognized, professional training. Passing students receive a legally recognized 2-year certification.

    While our advanced Desert Mountain Medicine (DMM) wilderness courses are designed for off-grid response, these foundational community courses ensure you and your team can respond with confidence the moment an emergency happens close to home.
