21 years of service as a Nuclear Security Officer at the Oconee Nuclear Station
9 years as a police officer for the Anderson City Police Department
13 years as a volunteer firefighter in Oconee County
30 years in Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
In addition to his hands-on experience, Gerald also holds a B.A. Degree in Emergency Services Management with a focus on Whole Community from Anderson University, and moonlights as an Adjunct CPR Instructor at Tri-County Technical College as-needed.

Hear from our Heroes
“Sloan Training Center did a fantastic job in our CPR training class. We enjoyed the hands-on training and feel more than prepared to send my oldest into babysitting and for myself. You cannot go wrong with STC!”
— Brandy McDavid (Google Reviews)
“I have had the pleasure of taking two classes with Gerald from Sloan Training Center.
First time, I contacted Gerald to instruct our safety and care team at our church. He provided clear instruction for a group of 17 of us with varied backgrounds and abilities. Training was great and all came away with confidence that they could personally help others if and when needed.
The second class was Accident Scene Management. A class of 9 Motorcycle riders again received a thorough class that went through many potential scenarios of what could happen at an accident scene.
I have recommended the classes presented by Sloan Training Center to several groups and will continue to use his services in the future.”
