About Fast Action CPR

Learning hands, saving lives

Most cardiac arrests happen at home, at work, or in public, long before an ambulance arrives. What happens in those first minutes depends on the people nearby. Our classes turn bystanders into confident responders.

As a certified instructor for both organizations, I can match you with the right course for your job, school, or licensing requirement.

FAQ

Common questions

Should I take an AHA or a Red Cross course?

Both are nationally recognized. Many healthcare employers require AHA BLS specifically, while workplaces and schools often accept either. Check with your employer, or tell us where you work and we'll help you choose.

Do I need any experience before taking a class?

No. Classes start from the basics and build up step by step. Most students have never done CPR before.

Will I receive a certification card?

Yes. Students who complete the course and pass the skills check receive an official American Heart Association or American Red Cross certification card.

How long is my certification good for?

AHA and Red Cross CPR and first aid certifications are valid for two years. We'll help you renew before yours expires.

Can you train our staff at our workplace?

Absolutely. We offer on-site group training for businesses, schools, daycares, and organizations. Contact us with your group size and preferred dates.

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothes you can kneel and move in. You'll spend time practicing on the floor with manikins.
