Health & Safety Institute and National Traffic Safety Institute Announces Partnership

Eugene, OR, May 08, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The partnership will increase the offerings of both organizations by delivering courses through both HSI and NTSI instructor networks.

HSI training programs help fulfill regulatory requirements for professional rescuers and educate the general community in CPR, AED, and first aid care.

The natural synergy between our companies and our course offerings provides great benefit to our collective customers by providing a more complete training solution,” says Craig Aman, Vice President of Sales.

The pairing of these industry experts allows clients the opportunity to access one resource for their emergency care and driver safety training needs. With offices throughout the country, HSI and NTSI provide online, onsite, and tailored training solutions. Bundles, packages, and discounts will be offered by both organizations. Instructors currently certified with either agency will remain recognized as a certified trainer.
