What Certified Rescue Courses, LLC does

Certified Rescue Courses, LLC is a privately-held Massachusetts LLC founded around 1970 and headquartered in North Dartmouth, MA, that delivers on-site workplace safety training across southern New England. The company's core offering is mobile CPR, AED, First Aid, Bloodborne Pathogens, and Stop the Bleed training conducted at customer workplaces throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island (with Connecticut and New Hampshire service available on request), scheduled seven days a week and accommodating groups of any size. Monthly individual training sessions are also offered for customers unable to arrange group classes. Course content conforms to 2020 American Heart Association guidelines and is delivered by emergency room registered nurses using Prestan Professional Series CPR manikins with rate feedback.

The business generates revenue from two streams. The primary stream is per-course training fees, priced from $30 (Bloodborne Pathogens) to $75 (AHA Basic Life Support), with combo packages marketed as the best value, and same-day laminated certification cards issued through Health & Safety Institute brands (ASHI, MEDIC First Aid); AHA healthcare provider cards are mailed roughly two weeks after class. The secondary stream is AED hardware sales, where the company acts as a sub-distributor for Defibtech, HeartSine, Physio-Control, Zoll, and Cardiac Science, bundling free group training and offering ongoing AED maintenance for service customers.

The go-to-market is direct-to-customer field sales: the company travels to the customer's site with all equipment, sells primarily through its phone line (508-992-0930) and website (certifiedrescuecourses.com), emphasizes low prices and no-deposit policies, and targets OSHA-regulated employers (dental offices, schools, child day care centers, group homes, medical offices, banks, hospitals, construction and utility companies, churches). Operations are run by 1-10 employees with no outside funding, no parent company, and no public listing, consistent with an established independent regional operator.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• American Red Cross (Training Services): National CPR/AED/First Aid training provider and one of CRC's primary competitors for both consumer and enterprise workplace training, especially for OSHA-compliant certification across MA/RI employers.
• American Heart Association (AHA Training Network): The dominant national CPR/first aid certification body. CRC is an authorized AHA BLS training site, so AHA is both a content/credentialing partner and a competitive incumbent through its nationwide network of authorized training centers operating in the same product category.

Direct peers

• AED Superstore: Online AED retailer carrying the same major brands (Defibtech, HeartSine, Zoll, LIFEPAK) that CRC sub-distributes. Competes with CRC's hardware revenue stream, particularly for self-directed buyers who don't need bundled training.
• CPR Certification Institute: Multi-region on-site and in-person CPR/first aid training provider targeting workplaces and OSHA-regulated employers — directly overlapping with CRC's primary mid-market customer segment.
• Health & Safety Institute (HSI): Parent organization of ASHI, MEDIC First Aid, EMS Safety Services, and 24-7 EMS & Fire. CRC issues cards through HSI brands and conforms to HSI curricula; HSI is also a direct competitor via its nationwide authorized training center network.
• EMS Safety Services: CPR/First Aid training organization now part of HSI but with its own brand and training network, offering OSHA-compliant workplace safety courses comparable to CRC's core curriculum.

Others

• Bound Tree Medical: Wholesale distributor of medical and emergency response equipment, including AEDs and training supplies. Adjacent rather than directly competitive — a potential supply-side and channel partner relevant to CRC's AED distribution business.

Regional players

• Life Safety Solutions: Workplace safety and CPR training provider operating in adjacent U.S. regions with similar on-site delivery model, OSHA-compliance focus, and SMB/mid-market customer base as CRC.
• First Aid & Safety Plus: On-site CPR/first aid/AED training provider serving workplaces in specific U.S. regions with comparable course catalog, pricing model, and target customer profile to CRC.

Emerging players

• ProTrainings: Online/blended CPR, AED, and first aid certification provider offering instant digital credentials at low price points. Competes with CRC primarily in the SMB and individual segments where convenience and price dominate over hands-on instruction.
