CPR training is very popular in the US, with many training providers offers training programs for Basic and Advanced Life Support. We have six providers in the country, located in 6 cities over 5 states. All of our providers have the same programs, certificates, and pre-requisites, with the only differences being the schedule of classes. No other provider in the country offers better training than us.
Enrolment and sign-up
Signing up for training is really easy. Because our providers want the trainees to have the best, most comfortable training experience, there are several ways a student can enrol for a class. The easiest – and most popular – way to sign up for training is through the online application form on the provider website. Sign up can also be done over e-mail, telephone call, and in person.

Certificates
Credentials are awarded to all trainees who have complete attendance and pass the post-tests given at the end of training. Post-tests are typically composed of a practical and a written exam. Certificates are valid for 24 months, after that period of time, they expire. If you want to renew your certificate, be sure to sign up for a re-certification program before it expires. Expired certificates cannot be renewed and the trainee has to retake the training program.
Available classes
There are a total of eight classes, five training programs and three re-certification classes. Re-certification classes are used to renew expired certificates and are usually shorter than the training program. Three of the training programs are under BLS training and two are under ALS training.
