Registered Maine Guide Courses

Being a Registered Maine Guide is one of the most respected licensures that one can have. Take our Registered Maine Guide courses before you subject yourself to the State of Maine-administrated written exam and oral boards. Our Registered Maine Guide courses can help you obtain the knowledge you need to take the exam with confidence.

American Red Cross Courses

The purpose of American Red Cross Basic First Aid and CPR classes is to give individuals in the workplace and general public the knowledge and skills necessary to prevent, recognize, and provide care for injuries and sudden illnesses until advanced medical personnel arrive and take over. Certifications are available upon successful completion of this course.
