In today’s fast-paced healthcare landscape, the need for efficient, high-quality CPR and resuscitation training is more important than ever. Enter the Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) program, an innovative solution endorsed by the American Heart Association (AHA) that blends short, frequent training sessions with real-time feedback. Now, Safety Training Seminars brings this cutting-edge system right to your doorstep—literally—by offering RQI Simulation Stations for rent. This blog dives into why leasing an RQI station might be the game-changer your organization needs.
What Is an RQI Station?
An RQI Station is a mobile, fully equipped resuscitation training hub featuring a Voice-Assisted Manikin (VAM). It enables individuals to conduct Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) training right where it’s most convenient—their own facility. Users complete an AHA-sanctioned online course at their pace and follow up with skills assessments administered directly on the manikin-equipped station. The result? Seamless training, instant certification, and enhanced retention through frequent, hands‑on practice.
Why Rent an RQI Station Instead of Traditional Training?
1. Convenience and Control
Instead of coordinating group classes with external training providers, organizations can schedule training internally, on their terms. No travel, no rigid timetables—your team trains when it fits your workflow.
2. Reliable Certification
One of the biggest pain points in CPR training is compliance. Many non‑accredited providers offer low-cost courses that don’t adhere to AHA standards, putting certifications at risk—even for looking legitimate on the surface. Renting an RQI station ensures certifications are legitimate and recognized, issued directly upon completion of skills testing.
3. Quality Meets Efficiency
Traditional lengthy training can be disruptive. RQI stations deliver low-dose, high-frequency practice that’s been shown to improve skill retention without burdening staff schedules. The manikin provides instant feedback, reinforcing proper technique with every use.
4. Cost Considerations
While renting an RQI station means upfront investment, it typically breaks even—or even saves money—compared to the cumulative cost of sending hundreds of staff off-site for training. Plus, with on-site control, there are no scheduling delays.
Who Benefits Most from Renting?
RQI stations are ideal for any organization with internal training needs or healthcare professionals who require frequent recertification. This includes:
- Hospitals, clinics, and healthcare systems
- Medical and dental schools
- Universities with nursing or allied health programs
- Firehouses, police stations, and first-responder agencies
- Designated CPR training sites
Simply put, any institution where BLS, ACLS, or PALS training is integral to operations would benefit from having RQI on-hand
The Leasing Details: What You Should Know
- Minimum Volume: To lease an RQI station, organizations must commit to a minimum of 50 BLS licenses per month.
- Contract Length: The lease spans two years, aligning with AHA certification validity and the typical frequency of required retraining.
- Support Included: Safety Training Seminars doesn’t just drop off a cart and disappear. Their customer service team provides training on the equipment and support as needed—available every day from 7am to 7pm Pacific Time
How It Works: 3 Easy Steps
- Take the online course (BLS, ACLS, or PALS) at your convenience—anytime, anywhere.
- Use the Voice‑Assisted Manikin (VAM) at the RQI Station to complete skills testing—no instructor needed.
- Receive your official AHA certification card (valid for two years) on the same day you
