BLS & CPR Certification

Working around children requires you to be always on and thinking ahead. During transitions, during fun activities, and everything in between. That's exactly why CPR and first aid readiness is so important.

We offer two main CPR training options. BLS for Healthcare Providers is for healthcare professionals and others who need provider-level CPR/BLS certification. Heartsaver CPR/AED is designed for the average person who does not work in healthcare.

An emergency can happen in seconds, and you are usually the first person on the scene. But it's not only children. Coworkers can face emergencies too and may require someone to step in and help.

Trouble doesn't discriminate against occupation, location, or convenience.

 

That's why knowing what to do can make all the difference.

Part of applying Behavior Excellence also includes knowing what to practically do when it comes to general safety and being prepared for the unexpected.

We are Here to Help

We are now offering local CPR and BLS training for our community, making it easier to find quality training close to home or work. Sometimes finding a CPR class that fits your schedule, location, and needs can be harder than it should be.

 

We wanted to provide a practical solution to a common need by offering convenient, hands-on training for healthcare professionals, ABA professionals, educators, caregivers, and community members. We keep our classes small so students have plenty of space to work with their manikins and equipment, while also allowing us to provide individual equipment whenever possible and thoroughly sanitize between students.


We also offer blended courses, allowing you to complete most of the training online and then come in for a short hands-on skills session with an instructor. If we are outside our current 15-mile service area, you can visit the American Heart Association website to search for other local training providers in your area.
