What we are all about
Safety is not a requirement. It is a mindset.
Emergency Response Training Services was founded with a clear mission: empower individuals and organizations with the knowledge and skills to confidently respond in emergencies. Drawing on decades of experience in emergency medicine, corporate safety and rescue operations, our team brings trusted, practical training to learners of all backgrounds.
What started as a local training provider in the Milwaukie and Portland area has grown into a respected community resource. We help students, from families and community groups to corporate teams, gain life-saving skills that make their homes and workplaces safer.

What people say afterwards
My work had Michael come in from this company to teach CPR & First Aid and we all were very appreciative for his cheerfulness and the time he took to elaborate and teach. I have taken a CPR class earlier this year and did not feel confident whatsoever but Michael really took the time to make us feel confident in saving a life. Great company great employees!
This group of people is amazing. They are not only patient but very thoughtful and knowledgable about what they do. I have a newborn and a 5 year old at home and thought it would be a good idea to gain some knowledge in case of an emergency. This new information gives me the piece of mind that I can handle scary situations in case they come up.
I learned a lot and got a lot of questions answered during CPR training. I like that they also offer classes for pet CPR and first aid as well so I might sign up for that too. He also had complete first responder kits available for sale so I snagged one as I've been wanting one since 2020.
