About Creative Skills Nursing School

Creative Skills Nursing School in Los Angeles offers workplace safety training grounded in healthcare and emergency response. Their background in nursing education gives them a practical edge for first aid, CPR, and emergency preparedness training that many standard safety consultants don't have. The team understands how to teach clinical skills clearly, which carries directly into how they deliver workplace safety instruction. The school is based in Los Angeles and works with employers across a range of industries, from small offices to larger healthcare-adjacent operations, to help staff get trained and stay compliant with Cal/OSHA requirements for emergency response preparedness. Their ratings reflect a mixed client experience, and the school acknowledges there's room to improve consistency. For businesses that specifically need CPR, first aid, and emergency action planning support, the core training competency is real.

How They Can Help

Creative Skills Nursing School delivers workplace safety training with a focus on first aid, CPR, and emergency response. Their CPR and AED training covers adult, child, and infant techniques and is available in formats that meet American Heart Association and American Red Cross standards. This is especially relevant for employers who must maintain certified first responders on-site under Cal/OSHA requirements. First aid training covers wound care, bleeding control, shock recognition, burn treatment, and choking response. Sessions are designed for the general workplace, not just healthcare settings, so employees without any medical background can follow along and retain the skills. The school also assists businesses with emergency action plan development, a Cal/OSHA requirement for virtually all employers. This includes written plan preparation, floor warden training, and evacuation drill planning. For healthcare-adjacent employers, such as medical offices, dental practices, and home health agencies, the team can deliver more advanced first responder training tailored to clinical settings. OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 outreach training, while not offered through all locations, can be coordinated through their network of affiliated trainers. Ask directly about availability for your industry.

What to Expect

Creative Skills starts the process with a needs assessment call. This covers how many employees need training, what certifications are required, whether you need documentation for compliance purposes, and whether you have any specific workplace hazards that should be addressed in the training content. From there, the school schedules training sessions at a time that works for your team. They can deliver training at their Los Angeles facility or travel to your worksite for group sessions. On-site delivery is often preferable for employers training large groups, since it reduces scheduling friction and keeps employees in a familiar context. Each training session includes hands-on skill practice, not just video and slideshow instruction. Participants receive documentation of completion, and the school maintains records that employers can reference for compliance audits. For businesses that need to re-certify staff regularly, Creative Skills can set up recurring training schedules so certifications don't lapse unnoticed.

Service Area

Creative Skills Nursing School serves Los Angeles and surrounding communities throughout Los Angeles County. This includes downtown LA, the Westside, South LA, the San Fernando Valley, and the surrounding cities. Travel to client worksites for group training is available within the greater LA area. For training at their facility, clients from across Southern California are welcome. Call to discuss options if you're outside central Los Angeles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CPR certification from Creative Skills accepted by Cal/OSHA for compliance purposes?
Certifications from American Heart Association and American Red Cross affiliated trainers are widely recognized for Cal/OSHA compliance purposes. Ask Creative Skills which certification body their training is affiliated with and confirm it meets the specific requirements for your industry before enrolling.
Does Cal/OSHA require employers to have CPR-trained employees on staff?
Cal/OSHA requires employers to ensure prompt medical attention for injured employees. If your worksite isn't close to a clinic or emergency services, you may be required to have trained first aid responders on site. The specific requirement depends on your industry, worksite location, and employee count, so it's worth reviewing Title 8 Section 3400 or consulting with a compliance professional.
How long is CPR certification valid?
Most CPR certifications are valid for two years. Employers should track expiration dates for all certified employees and schedule renewals before certifications lapse. Creative Skills can set up recurring training schedules to make this easier to manage.
Can training be delivered at our workplace?
Yes. Creative Skills can travel to your worksite to deliver group training, which is often more convenient than bringing multiple employees to a training facility. On-site delivery typically requires a minimum number of participants to be cost-effective. Ask during your initial inquiry about the minimum group size for on-site sessions.
What's included in an emergency action plan?
A Cal/OSHA-compliant emergency action plan covers procedures for reporting fires and emergencies, evacuation routes and procedures, employee accounting after an evacuation, rescue and medical duties for designated employees, and contact information for personnel who can provide more information. The plan must be written and available to employees, and certain elements must be reviewed with employees individually.
Do you offer training in languages other than English?
This is an important question to ask directly, given the diversity of the Los Angeles workforce. Contact Creative Skills to ask about Spanish-language instruction or other language accommodations. Cal/OSHA requires that training be provided in a language and vocabulary that employees can understand.
What's the difference between a Heartsaver course and a BLS course?
Heartsaver courses are designed for lay responders in general workplace settings and cover CPR, AED use, and first aid. BLS (Basic Life Support) courses are designed for healthcare providers and have higher skill standards. For most workplace compliance purposes, Heartsaver-level certification is sufficient, but healthcare-adjacent employers may need BLS.
How do I know if my current training documentation is sufficient for a Cal/OSHA inspection?
At minimum, you should have records of employee names, training dates, topics covered, and instructor credentials for any safety training you've conducted. Certifications from recognized bodies like the AHA or ARC are generally well-documented. If you're unsure whether your records are sufficient, ask Creative Skills or a compliance consultant to review what you have before an inspection takes place.
