Certifications We Offer in Arizona

We have a range of certifications for teachers, lifeguards, firefighters, nurses, doctors and other first responders. Take a look at our CPR classes in Phoenix, Arizona.

CPR Certification

A CPR certification is an introductory course for lifeguards, babysitters, caregivers, teachers, coaches and others who want to be certified. This course teaches critical CPR and AED skills and how to treat bleeding, sprains and broken bones.
