Curriculum
What you'll learn.
The full HeartSaver-equivalent skill set for lay rescuers, taught in the same order you'd use it in a real emergency. Practice on adult, child, and infant manikins, plus AED trainer rotation through the whole class.
-
High-quality chest compressions
Correct depth, rate, recoil. The single highest-impact skill we teach.
-
Rescue breathing
With a barrier device, with a pocket mask, or hands-only when needed.
-
AED use
Adult, child, and infant pads. Pad placement, shock decision, CPR cycles.
-
Choking response
Adult, child, and infant. Conscious and unconscious victim.
-
Recovery position
For breathing-but-unresponsive patients while EMS arrives.
-
Activating EMS
When to call 911, what to say, how to direct bystanders.
How the class works
Three stages. Same day. Verifiable card at the end.
No long lectures. We move from concept to hands-on quickly, so you spend most of the class actually practicing what saves a life.
-
01
Hands-on skills practice
At our Tampa Bay venue. Real manikins, real AED trainers, real-time feedback as you work through each skill.
-
02
Written knowledge check
Multiple-choice. Open to ask the instructor questions. Tests understanding, not memorization.
-
03
Final skills evaluation
Demonstrate compressions, AED, and choking response. Pass and you're done same day.
Digital completion card issued same day on a successful skills check. Optional physical card upgrades available at checkout. See your options.
Who this class is for
If you might be the one to act, this is your class.
HeartSaver-equivalent training works for nearly every lay-rescuer audience. The common cases we serve are below, but if your situation isn't listed, ask.
Babysitters & nannies
Independent or agency. Pediatric-focused practice included.
Churches & ministries
Ushers, greeters, children's-ministry teams: the first hands on the scene in a sanctuary emergency.
Community groups
Scouts, neighborhood associations, sports leagues, volunteer organizations.
Workplaces (general)
Office teams that want everyone trained, not just the safety officer.
Anyone who wants to be ready
No prerequisite. No prior experience needed. Open to ages 12+.
Healthcare professionals (BLS Provider), childcare staff (Pediatric First Aid CPR/AED), and FL school athletic coaches have specific certification requirements. We expect to offer those courses in Phase 2. In the meantime, contact us to discuss whether this class meets your specific employer requirement.

Group-class questions
Answers specific to the group format.
- Do I need to bring a group, or can I sign up solo?
- Solo is perfectly fine. Most students register that way. Group classes are scheduled regularly with open seats; you'll learn alongside other students who registered the same way.
- Can I bring family or friends with me?
- Yes. Bring whoever you'd like to certify with you: couples, families, small teams, neighbors. They join the open class alongside you with seats reserved together.
- How is a class date confirmed?
- Submit the schedule form with the days and times that work for you. We'll confirm the next class date that fits your availability and any other students who registered around the same time.
