Steve the trainer was very knowledgeable, experienced and very professional . The training was better than I expected. I have the confidence that I can perform CPR and first aid when needed. I was shown not only how to perform but what to look at to determine what needs to be done as well as making sure of my personal safety.

Working with Domestic & International Response Corps, LLC, particularly with our exceptional instructor, Steve, was an absolute pleasure and a 5-star experience in every way. Steve's responsiveness was truly remarkable, always promptly addressing our queries and concerns with a level of care that made us feel valued and respected. His professionalism was evident from the get-go, as he expertly guided our group through CPR and First Aid sessions, making what could have been a mundane experience, truly engaging and enjoyable. The way he seamlessly integrated team-building activities into the sessions made the whole learning process not only informative but also incredibly fun. Our staff unanimously agreed that the sessions conducted by Steve were nothing short of amazing. He managed to strike a perfect balance between imparting crucial life-saving skills and fostering a sense of camaraderie among our team. Moreover, we were deeply touched by Steve's gesture of honoring a discounted rate, considering my connection to my Veteran father. This act of empathy and respect truly reflects the ethos of Domestic & International Response Corps, LLC. The value we received far exceeded our expectations, and we are immensely grateful for the invaluable knowledge and team-building experience Steve provided. In conclusion, our heartfelt thanks go to Steve and Domestic & International Response Corps, LLC, for their exceptional service. I speak for the entire staff when I say that our experience was truly exceptional, and we wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of professional and engaging CPR and First Aid training." Sincerely, Michelle, Arizona Children's Group, LLC

Right when I was going to give up searching for a creditable CPR/first aid instructor. I visited the DIRC Inc website and was blown away by how many year of experience and training offered. I called and spoke with Steve. I explained my situation and he was able to come to my home within 24 hours notice.He understood my need and was very informative. I learned more with him than I have over the past several years while in other CPR/first aid training. I felt very comfortable with what he offered and how he conducted himself. I have already sent his information to my friends and family to experience the professionalism of DIRC,Inc. You rock Steve, and I'll be signing up for more Safety training soon.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    Saving a boy's life who was hit by a car (in a semi rural area) , after earning my First Aid Skill Award as Boy Scout in the 70's...was the beginning in one of many paths in life, later in public safety(law enforcement, emergency medical service, fire service) combat service, and service and security to our Homeland - USA and Humanitarian Service overseas.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    For training that requires a min standard - that is our guideline to exceed. We do not "just check off the box" training and we do not teach to the clock
