WALK IN PREPARED

More than a seat in a classroom.

01 / PRACTICE

Learn by doing.

Practice CPR skills, take part in simulated emergencies, and work through scenarios as a team.

02 / PREPARE

Come comfortable.

Wear clothing that lets you bend, kneel, and move freely. Contact us before class if you need an accommodation.

03 / DEMONSTRATE

Show what you know.

Successful completion requires a hands-on skills check-off and a passing written exam. Attendance alone does not earn certification.

One essential before class: your student manual.

Purchase the AHA BLS Provider Manual eBook separately before attending, and have it available during class. The manual is not included in your course fee.

Hi, I’m Jeremy.
Let’s build your confidence.

As a practicing registered nurse, I know how important it is to stay calm and act with purpose during an emergency.

I created Pump the Heart to make training approachable, practical, and focused on the skills you’ll use. There’s room to ask questions, practice, and learn.
