Questions, answered straight

If you work in a clinical setting — nursing, dental, EMS, medical assisting — you almost certainly need BLS Provider. If you need a card for a non-clinical job (teaching, childcare, coaching, fitness, construction, office safety) or you just want to be ready at home, you need CPR, AED & First Aid. ACLS is for providers who run or participate in codes. Not sure? Call or text and we'll sort it out in two minutes — we'd rather point you to the right class than sell you the wrong one.

Our classes use official American Heart Association course curriculum, taught by a certified, AHA-authorized Instructor, and you receive an official AHA course completion card. That's the card Florida healthcare employers and the Florida Board of Nursing expect for clinical roles — the Board requires CPR at the professional rescuer level, which is BLS. If your employer has given you a specific requirement in writing, send it to us before you book and we'll confirm the right course.

Two years from the date you complete the course. We recommend renewing a month or so before it expires so you're never caught out by a compliance audit or a credentialing deadline.

Not for us. Depending on how long it's been, you may need to take the full course rather than the shorter renewal — tell us the expiration date and we'll tell you which one you need. Either way, we'll get you back in compliance quickly.

It depends on the course, whether it's an initial or a renewal, and how many people are training. Group and onsite rates are better per person than individual seats. Call or text for a straight answer — no packages to decode and no surprise fees bolted on at the end.

Yes, and it's often the easiest option for a team. We bring the manikins, AED trainers and everything else needed, and we can run sessions in shifts so you don't have to shut down operations. Offices, clinics, dental practices, gyms, schools, daycares, assisted living communities and job sites all work.

Yes. Classes are scheduled around your availability, including evenings and weekends. Shift workers and students are a big part of who we train, so we're used to working around awkward schedules.

Usually quickly — we're local and we keep class sizes small, so we can often slot people in within days rather than weeks. If you're up against a start date or a credentialing deadline, say so when you reach out and we'll prioritize it.

We serve Port Charlotte and the surrounding Southwest Florida communities, including Punta Gorda, North Port, Englewood, Rotonda West, Venice and Arcadia. We'll confirm a convenient location when you book, or come to you for group training.

Partly. Blended options let you finish the coursework online at your own pace and then come in for a hands-on skills session. The hands-on part matters — you can't learn compression depth and rate from a screen, and a card without a skills check isn't accepted by employers.
