About
The Beating Heart Center can provide you with the CPR and training you need for your company, organization or peace of mind. We make our training easy to understand and organized around your busy schedule.
There are three ways we can provide the training you need to instill the best confidence in knowing how to respond in a medical emergency.
You have the choice on how you like to learn CPR.
You can go with our traditional learning in the classroom setting.
You can choose our Blended Courses, where we send the video portion to your email and then meet an instructor at one of our 7 offices to complete your hands on skills portion.
Or you can try our Remote Skills Verification, this is similar to Blended but instead of meeting an instructor at one of our offices, we ship the CPR equipment to your door and you will work live on a video conference with an instructor for the hands on portion.
If you like to learn more or would like to see what we can offer feel free to give us a call or send us a message and we will get you certified.

Jeff provided CPR and FirstAidtraining for our team and was excellent to work with from start to finish. He was very responsive and flexible during the scheduling process, which made coordination easy. Jeff arrived early to ensure everything was set up and ready to go, and he delivered a clear, engaging, and effective training session.
He did a great job making the material easy to understand and applicable, and he followed up promptly by sending out the completion certificates. We appreciated his professionalism, preparedness, and efficiency, and would highly recommend him for CPR and FirstAidtraining.

Jeff with the Beating Heart Center was an awesome instructor. He made the class interesting. The instruction and hands on demonstration was the best that I’ve ever experienced, and I a RN (non-practicing) and was a CPR instructor for 20 years. I’ll be calling him again in 2 years.

Jeff G was a lifesaver. I needed to take my BLS certification ASAP and he was able to accommodate me. He was very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. This was, by far, the most informative CPR class I have taken. I would, and will, recommend Jeff to anybody needing a class!

Jeff and Stephanie were awesome instructors. I held two classes for my caregivers and we all had such a fun learning experience! They came to my house so we could learn from the comforts of home. The instructors told jokes to keep us engaged the 3 hours. They answered any questions (even the ones when we got off topic)...and explained or demonstrated until we understood. I would highly recommend the Beating Heart for your cpr qual needs!

FAQs
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes every few months we get updates on studies that help improve survivability in CPR. Every 5 years the entire programs are updated with new curriculum.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always wanted to help people. I wanted to become a doctor at one time, but I discovered that once your sick or injured it is too late. I find that education in prevention was much better than any medical practice.
What types of customers have you worked with?
The most common job is teaching CPR and the use of an AED to people that are required this training for their work.
