Our sessions, lasting about two hours, offer a two-year certification. Training can be conducted at your preferred location.
What is an AED? An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is your ally in the fight against sudden cardiac arrest. Compact and user-friendly, it swiftly analyzes heart rhythms, delivering vital shocks to restore normal function. You can be a hero in someone's darkest hour.
Why is AED training crucial? Sudden cardiac arrest claims countless lives yearly, but AEDs offer a beacon of hope. Each minute counts, with survival odds decreasing by 10% for every minute defibrillation is delayed. With AED know-how, you become a vital link in the chain of survival.
How can I help? At Ready to Respond Syracuse, I offer a range of top-tier AED products, including HeartSine Samaritan®, Cardiac Science®, LIFEPAK®, Philips HeartStart®, and ZOLL®. From AEDs to cabinets and accessories, I have you covered. Reach out today for pricing and further details on how you can be prepared to save a life.
Elevate Fitness recently completed a CPR training course at our gym, and I can't express enough how positive and valuable the experience was. Our instructor Val Burns was exceptional – knowledgeable, engaging, and committed to ensuring everyone felt confident in life-saving techniques.
Val's expertise shone through as she presented complex information in a clear and accessible manner, making the content easy to grasp. The hands-on exercises were not only educational but also made the learning process enjoyable and memorable.
What stood out the most was Val's passion for the subject. Her enthusiasm created a positive and inclusive atmosphere, making the entire training session engaging and interactive. Her approachability and patience in addressing questions made everyone feel comfortable, fostering a supportive learning environment.
I now feel well-prepared and empowered to respond effectively in emergency situations, thanks to this excellent CPR training experience. Kudos to our instructor for her dedication to our safety and well-being.”

We love having Val from Ready to Respond Syracuse lead our CPR/First Aid training each year. Val is very informative and encouraging, giving us the tools we need and the confidence to help in a time of need. Some of our preschool teachers were always nervous about training until we started receiving training from Val. We practice hands-on real life scenarios and talk through all sorts of situations that we may run into working with little children in a preschool environment.

"Our dental practice in Syracuse, NY, recently had the pleasure of having Valerie Burns update our cpr/aed training requirements.
Though most of the information is repetitive for our medical staff I feel Valerie’s upbeat personality and encouragement for class participation kept the staff interested and engaged.
Valerie’s extensive knowledge and many years of training has given her a unique lens in that she is able to provide the basic information that is required. While also teaching ways to be successful and comfortable helping in a non medical setting Thus providing the confidence to step forward in a non office event to offer aid and potentially save a life.
It is safe to say we all feel more confident in our ability to provide emergency care in the office setting and outside of it. We would strongly encourage you to use Valerie for your training needs and look forward to having her again for our future trainings.
