Documented classes

What the local records show

These examples combine anonymized class records with a dated public account of a community CPR initiative. They provide local context, not a promise about every group, learner or future session.

Class · Documented group training

BLS training for an education community

A local education training program gives a concrete example of how EMIC supports group BLS instruction and follows up on assessment results.

Date: August–September 2026Location: Capital Region, New York

What was needed

Provide Basic Life Support training through EMIC’s established Capital Region BOCES training relationship.

Training documented

The reviewed BLS class records cover seven sessions held between August 26 and September 29, 2026. Attendance and assessment records provide a documented account of participation and follow-up testing.

What the record notes

79 recorded roster sign-ins across seven BLS sessions. A separate seven-record matched assessment snapshot is shown below.

Sign-ins are attendance records, not a count of unique graduates or issued certification cards. Student identities and individual scores remain private.

Class · Historical community initiative

Community CPR access in Schenectady

A published EMIC account documents a CPR initiative with Union College’s Kenney Center, bringing training access to the college community and nearby Schenectady residents.

Date: Documented September 26, 2019Location: Schenectady, New York

What was needed

Make CPR learning accessible to members of the Union College community and the surrounding Schenectady area.

Training documented

EMIC’s September 2019 announcement described CPR classes with the Kenney Center and free access to audit the classes.

What the record notes

The dated public announcement records the initiative and its community audience. Union College’s own website describes the center’s Schenectady community-engagement role.

This is a historical example, not a current class timetable or a claim of an ongoing partnership. No attendee total, certification count or measured learning outcome is claimed.

Learning snapshot

A small, documented classroom snapshot

This BLS comparison uses 7 matched roster records with a completed baseline pretest and an actual online exam result. It is a local assessment snapshot, not a result for every EMIC class.

BLS classes held August 26–September 29, 2026; online exams submitted by September 30, 2026.

Small matched cohort (n = 7); manual and assigned grades excluded. Different assessments, not a measure of practical skills competency or a guarantee of future results. Figures are rounded separately; the difference was calculated before rounding.

How to read this snapshot

Seven completed five-question pretests were uniquely matched to actual, non-test online BLS exam records. The latest qualifying online attempt was selected per record. Manual or assigned grades and ambiguous matches were excluded. Figures are rounded separately; the difference was calculated before rounding.

A small matched snapshot, not a result for every participant or class. The baseline screen and online exam are different assessments. This descriptive score difference does not establish practical skills competency, item-by-item mastery, certification-card issuance or results for future students.

This strictly paired online subset excludes manual grades and does not display raw learner identities.

The pre- and post-class checks are different assessments. This limited result is not a measure of clinical competence, a clinical guarantee, or a description of individual performance.
