YES!
If you have the minimum group size for your location, or you are prepared to pay the location group minimum rate, we will come to your location. For example, we have had a few Dentists pay us the group fee to teach them alone, privately in their office.
We define a group as 5 or more participants in a Tampa zip code. Outside of Tampa, but within the immediately surrounding areas, the minimum group size is 8 participants. We have willingly accepted contracts to train groups as far as Jacksonville, and Key West - but that group size or minimum fee was directly negotiated. It turns out that those locations would rather pay our minimum because local prices were so much higher than even after paying our minimum group rate, they could still have more participants take the training.
If you have fewer participants, then
(a) you come to our location
(b) pay for the minimum group size and we will still come to you.
NOTE: If you say you will have the group minimum, and there are fewer when we arrive, we will bill you for the minimum participants. If you are unsure of your participant count, then may we suggest you collect the fee up front from them to help cover their absence.

The certification cards we issue from the ASHI curriculum are valid for 2 years from your training date.
NOTE: Should you need your card replaced for any reason, your re-issued replacement will still have the originial training and expiration dates
Yes! We do charge a $5 research and replacement fee.
Should you need your card replaced for any reason, your re-issued replacement will still have the originial training and expiration dates.
Occasionally, when employers pay for the training, they hold the cards of former employees. However, if we have issued a card in your name, we will still re-issue your card for the $5 research/replacement fee.
We teach the ASHI curriculum (American Safety & Health Institute) which is recognized nationally and internationally and by OSHA.
However, here in Florida, we are aware that Lifeguards are exclusively required to carry the Red Cross CPR certification and health workers in the local Tampa Bay hospital system are exclusively required to only have the American Heart Association certification. These organizations have made exclusive agreements with these curriculum boards, so you must get your CPR certification with them.
If you are unsure if you need a specific CPR curriculum please check with your employer as we will not offer a refund after we have trained you.
Sorta!
We do not offer an ONLINE only CPR Class, however - if there is a time issue - for an additional fee, we can offer the theory portion only of the course, online so that you need 30 minute or less for the hands-on portion of this training.
For example, DCF, which monitors childcare and adult care facilities will not accept an online safety training certificate and we have had to retrain many who have alreay paid other providers for an online only class only to be told by their accrediting Board that that training is not accepted.
Our Prices
NOTE: Group size and distance may influence discounts or guaranteed minimums.
CPR, AED and First Aid
per person
Childcare workers, CNAs, and Home Health workers often choose this option.
If you are booking this class for a group, we offer discounts when your class has 10+ participants. The discount is determined by the size of the number who actually show up.
CPR/ AED - adult skills only
Some Home Health Agencies need you to have this class only, and some require that you include First Aid. Please confirm with your Agency which skillset is needed because it is another training session to update you later.
Become a CPR & First Aid Instructor
Get qualified to teach CPR and earn extra income. CPR is mandatory for so many careers, and needs to be renewed every two years, so finding future students is easier than other side-income options. You will also be seen as a leader among your co-workers and peers.
If you intend to teach a Professional rescuer, you must already have a health professional background (beyond the CNA level). If you do not have this pre-requisite, please connect with us regarding the extra training required so you can teach the CPR for Professional Rescuers credential.
NOTE: If our competitor offers a very slightly cheaper course price, please be aware - you may not be comparing apples to apples.
The booking link is for an initial quick chat to see if this is a mutual fit. We must have this chat, at which point, a payment link will be generated. I would rather be sure you are taking the correct curriculum than have to refund you later.
