When do you hold classes?

We hold classes 6 days a week — Monday through Friday at 5:30 PM and Saturday at 9:00 AM — across our three South Bay locations:

  • Monday & Friday — 5:30 PM: 1409 N La Brea Ave, Inglewood, CA 90302
  • Tuesday & Thursday — 5:30 PM: 1320 W Gardena Blvd #204, Gardena, CA 90247
  • Wednesday — 5:30 PM & Saturday — 9:00 AM: 502 S La Brea Ave, Inglewood, CA 90301

We specialize in in-person, hands-on skills training. We also offer an online component that supports the classroom experience — as a refresher during your 2-year certification period, as pre-class preparation, and for out-of-state or blended renewals. Learn about online training.

Renewals and skills check-offs can also be scheduled by appointment daily from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM at our locations. Call (562) 269-0775 to book.

What if my job doesn’t accept this certification?

We train to the same guidelines used by the American Heart Association and the American Red Cross, and we are not an online-only certification business. Your CPR certification should be accepted widely. If an employer does not accept it, we can provide a full refund.

You have already invested time in the class — if you would like us to contact your employer, we are happy to help. If you need a specific card or program, we can often arrange that for an additional fee. Call us before class if you are unsure which certification your workplace requires.

What else do you teach?

In addition to our main CPR AED First Aid course (adult, child, and infant), we teach:

  • Basic Life Support (BLS) for healthcare providers
  • First Aid and Bloodborne Pathogens
  • Pediatric CPR & First Aid / EMSA Health & Safety for daycare providers
  • ACLS and PALS
  • MAB / CPI crisis prevention
  • CPR Instructor training
  • On-site group training for businesses, schools, churches, and organizations

Most certifications are valid for 2 years. See the full list on our courses page.

How much are your classes?

Our main CPR AED First Aid certification (adult / child / infant), held in person for about 3–4 hours at one of our facilities, is $50.00. A small credit card processing fee may apply ($4).

More Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions answered — with clarity, confidence, and care

CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is a lifesaving technique used when someone’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped — for example in cardiac arrest or near-drowning. High-quality CPR can double or triple a person’s chance of survival until professional help arrives.

We offer American Heart Association–aligned and related courses, including:
  • CPR AED First Aid (adult, child, and infant)
  • Basic Life Support (BLS) for healthcare providers
  • Heartsaver CPR/AED and First Aid
  • Pediatric CPR & First Aid / EMSA Health & Safety for daycare
  • Bloodborne Pathogens
  • ACLS and PALS
  • MAB / CPI crisis prevention
  • CPR Instructor training
  • Custom on-site corporate and group trainings
  • Online / blended options for renewals and out-of-area students
