Define the business model: Understand what a First Aid & CPR training business is, why it's in high demand across industries (not just healthcare), and how it provides certified, life-saving education to the community.
Assess personal alignment: Reflect on their personality, lifestyle, and nursing background to determine if launching a training business is a good fit—and whether it can support their income, freedom, and impact goals.
Meet legal and certification requirements: Identify the necessary instructor certifications, business licenses, insurance, safety standards, and recordkeeping practices required to run a compliant and trusted training business.
Prepare essential tools + setup: Gather the core supplies (like manikins, AED trainers, manuals, consent forms, and cleaning materials) and set up a mobile or in-person training space without overspending.
Attract clients and grow confidently: Build awareness using their personal network, social media, and community partnerships; manage bookings professionally; and deliver high-quality training that leads to referrals and repeat business.
