A reflection of how we do business.
In all businesses, it goes without saying that the key to success is creating and maintaining a good relationship with your clients. One way you can distinguish if a company offers great service is through its ratings with the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
Who Is Buckeye CPR Training, LLC?
Buckeye CPR Training, LLC is a Veteran-Owned Small Business dedicated to providing high-quality, affordable life-saving education throughout Central Ohio. We are proud to maintain an A+ Rating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), demonstrating our commitment to ethical business practices, exceptional customer service, and customer satisfaction.
Owned and operated by a U.S. Air Force veteran, our company is built on the same core values that guided military service: Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do. Since opening in 2015, our mission has remained simple—to provide the highest quality CPR, First Aid, BLS, and workplace safety training at a price that is accessible to everyone.
A+ Better Business Bureau Rating
Our A+ BBB Rating reflects our dedication to professionalism, honesty, and customer satisfaction. To achieve and maintain this rating, businesses must demonstrate a consistent commitment to resolving customer concerns and operating with integrity.
In addition to our A+ BBB Rating, Buckeye CPR Training maintains a 5-Star Google Review Rating, reflecting the trust our students and business partners place in us. We strive to deliver exceptional customer service, efficient certification processing, and an outstanding training experience in every class we teach.
Affordable, Common-Sense Pricing
We believe learning life-saving skills should be affordable. While many training companies continue to increase prices, Buckeye CPR Training has maintained competitive pricing since opening in 2015.
Because we operate as a small business with lower overhead costs, we're able to pass those savings directly to our students. In many cases, our courses are priced significantly lower than those offered by larger training organizations while providing a more personalized learning experience. We also offer group discounts and promotional pricing opportunities for businesses and organizations.
Higher Quality Education Through Real-World Experience
What truly sets Buckeye CPR Training apart is our instructors.
Every instructor is a public safety professional, including firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, law enforcement officers, and healthcare professionals with decades of real-world experience. While many organizations offer quality CPR training, few can provide instruction from professionals who actively perform the skills they teach in emergency situations.
Owner Russ Aikman has been teaching life-saving skills for nearly three decades and has served as a professional Firefighter/EMT for more than 26 years. Our students benefit from practical knowledge, real-world scenarios, and professional experience that simply cannot be learned from a textbook.
CAPCE-Accredited Continuing Education
Our BLS for Healthcare Providers course is CAPCE-accredited and provides 4.25 Continuing Education Hours for EMS professionals. CAPCE – Commission on Accreditation for Pre-Hospital Continuing Education.
