CPR Classes

At American Institute of Caring, we offer both full classroom learning and blended online learning with skills testing for our BLS CPR Classes. For those students who are new to CPR, we do reccommend the full in-person classroom experience. For those CPR providers who are confident in their skills and simply need recertified, the blended option is both conveinent and can be scheduled around your busy schedules. Both options will ensure you are prepared to give high-quality CPR and the use of an AED.

Groups or businesses may schedule onsite skills testing in your workplace for BLS or HeartSaver certifications. Contact Us to discuss this option. Group discounts are not given - prices are per perosn plus instructor mileage.
