Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves5 records

Direct peers

• EMS Safety Services: National provider of CPR, AED, BLS, and First Aid certification courses for healthcare and workplace audiences. Competes directly with RTI on course content, pricing, and authorized-certification positioning.
• Cascade Training Center: Multi-region CPR/First Aid/AED training center operating AHA-aligned courses for healthcare and corporate clients. Comparable in offering the same blended mix of open-enrollment and on-site workplace training that RTI provides in Sacramento.
• American Red Cross: National direct competitor offering CPR, BLS, AED, and First Aid certification courses through its own training network. Overlaps directly with RTI on BLS for healthcare providers, community CPR, and workplace safety training across the same customer segments.
• Health & Safety Institute (HSI): RTI is an HSI/ASHI Authorized Training Center; HSI provides competing CPR, AED, and First Aid certification programs used by employers nationwide. As the upstream credentialing partner that also licenses other training centers, HSI is a direct competitor in workplace safety training.

Emerging players

• ProTrainings: Online and blended CPR/First Aid/BLS certification platform targeting the same healthcare, workplace, and community segments as RTI. Represents the digital/blended delivery model that could compress RTI's per-seat classroom economics over time.
• National CPR Foundation: Online CPR/AED/First Aid certification provider targeting individuals and SMBs. An emerging lower-cost competitor that pressures RTI's community/general-public segment and recertification pricing.

Broad incumbents

• AED Superstore: Large online AED and first-aid equipment retailer authorized across multiple AED brands. Overlaps with RTI's hardware distribution business and competes for customers who buy AEDs without a bundled training relationship.
• American Heart Association (AHA): Issues the BLS/CPR certifications that RTI is authorized to teach and runs its own AHA Training Centers. AHA is both a credentialing body and a broad incumbent competitor that could expand direct training delivery into RTI's Sacramento territory.

Regional players

• Safety Training Seminars: Northern California (Bay Area) AHA Training Center offering BLS, CPR, and First Aid classes. Closest regional peer to RTI — same California market, same certification stack, but operating in an adjacent metro rather than directly in Sacramento.

Others

• Bound Tree Medical: Distributor of first aid, bleeding control, and emergency medical supplies, overlapping with RTI's first aid kit and bleeding control product lines. Functions as an adjacent supply-channel peer rather than a training competitor.
