Case Study: American Federation of Teachers achieves scalable, cost-effective nationwide emergency care and active violence response training with HSI

Improve Training with Emergency Care Solutions

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), an approved HSI Training Center representing 1.72 million members across more than 3,000 local affiliates, needed a straightforward, consistent, flexible and cost‑effective way to deliver emergency care and active violence response training (CPR, AED, First Aid, BLS, AVERT) to a large nationwide network of instructors and members while meeting regulatory requirements.

HSI delivered its video‑driven, instructor‑facilitated emergency care programs and hands‑on support, enabling AFT to certify more than 150 authorized HSI Instructors, run in‑house courses, and scale supplies (including TAC+PAC bleeding control kits) with discounted pricing and direct shipping to training locations. The HSI solution improved student retention and confidence through scenario‑based learning, preserved program continuity during internal challenges, and helped AFT cost‑effectively serve its nationwide membership while maintaining regulatory approvals.
