Hands-On ASHI CPR, AED and First Aid Classes at One Health and Beyond, Stoughton, MA
Knowing CPR and First Aid can make the difference in the first few minutes of an emergency, before paramedics arrive. Whether your job requires a current CPR card or you simply want to be ready at home, the right training gives you the skills and the confidence to act.
At One Health and Beyond in Stoughton, MA, we teach ASHI CPR, AED and First Aid courses for childcare staff, direct care workers, home health aides, workplace safety teams, parents and community members across Norfolk County and the Greater Boston area.
Every class is hands-on. You practice chest compressions, rescue breathing and AED use on training equipment with an instructor beside you, and you leave with an ASHI certification card that is valid for two years.
This guide explains which course fits your role, how in-person and hybrid classes work, what you will learn, and how to get certified.
Getting certified is straightforward. Most students finish training in a single class day or a short hybrid schedule. Here is the full path from choosing a course to holding your card.
| Step | What You Need to Do | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Check your requirement | Ask your employer, school or licensing program which course they accept. Most workplace and childcare roles accept ASHI CPR and First Aid. Hospital and clinical roles usually require BLS instead. |
| 2 | Choose your course | Pick adult CPR and AED, adult First Aid, a combined course, or the adult, child and infant option for childcare and family caregivers. |
| 3 | Pick in-person or hybrid | Complete everything in one class at our Stoughton training center, or study online first and come in for a shorter hands-on skills session. |
| 4 | Reserve your seat | Contact us for the next available class date. Hybrid students receive their online learning link after registering. |
| 5 | Attend hands-on training | Practice each skill on manikins and AED trainers with instructor feedback. No prior medical experience is needed. |
| 6 | Pass the skills check | Your instructor watches you perform each skill correctly. Skills must be verified in person before a card can be issued. |
| 7 | Receive your ASHI card | Your certification is valid for two years. Plan to renew before it expires so you have no gap in coverage at work. |
All courses include hands-on skills practice and an ASHI certification card valid for two years. Choose the one that matches your job or the people you care for.

The American Safety and Health Institute, known as ASHI, is part of the Health and Safety Institute, or HSI. HSI is one of the largest CPR and first aid training organizations in the United States, along with the American Heart Association and the American Red Cross.
ASHI courses are based on current international resuscitation and first aid science, follow OSHA best practice guidance for workplace first aid programs, and are accepted by thousands of employers, licensing boards and regulatory agencies across many occupations.
HSI is gradually bringing its training brands under one name, so some certification cards may show the HSI name along with or instead of ASHI. The certification is the same.
