What OC Safety Inc. does

OC Safety Inc., operating as OC Safety CPR & Aesthetic Training and The Career Academy Training Center, is a privately held, Costa Mesa, California-based vocational training company founded in 2009. The business operates two distinct training portfolios under one roof: (1) American Heart Association-certified safety training covering CPR, First Aid, AED, BLS, ACLS, Bloodborne Pathogens, and Pediatric CPR for healthcare professionals, businesses, childcare providers, and the general public; and (2) aesthetic procedure training (Botox, dermal fillers, dermaplaning, microneedling, PRP/PRF, body contouring, lip blush, and eyelash mentorship) for licensed nurse practitioners, registered nurses, physician assistants, and estheticians. Courses are delivered through a hybrid model combining a classroom training facility at 3303 Harbor Blvd Suite D-1 in Costa Mesa, mobile on-site instruction at employer locations across Orange, Los Angeles, and Riverside Counties, and AHA's HeartCode BLS blended online eSimulation plus skills session.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time course fees ranging from $40 (skills-only session) up to $3,333 (3-month lash mentorship), with group on-site pricing tiered from $65 down to $45 per person for larger groups, plus higher-ticket aesthetic packages accessible via Cherry and Affirm BNPL financing. The company issues AHA-recognized certification cards immediately upon course completion, with CPR/First Aid cards valid for two years and Bloodborne Pathogens valid for one year. Customer acquisition runs through a self-serve website booking system, direct phone/text inquiries, blog content, and organic social channels (Facebook, Yelp, Google). Leadership consists of Manager/Lead Instructor Craig (BLS/CPR) since 2010 and Director of Education Janet Robson, NP, who joined in 2014 to build the aesthetic vertical; the company reports no institutional investment, parent company, or M&A activity.

• Health & Safety Institute (HSI): Major provider of CPR, First Aid, BLS, and workplace safety certification programs including ASHI and MEDIC First Aid brands. Comparable to OC Safety's AHA-approved safety training portfolio but with national reach.

Emerging players
