We’ve Expanded: Now Serving Georgia, Texas, and Washington
We are officially open for business in Georgia, Texas, and Washington. In addition to our California locations, we now provide specialized training nationwide, including group discounts for corporate teams of five or more. Best of all, every participant walks away with their official certification card the same day they finish their in-person skills session.
Dedicated to Saving Lives Through Expert Training
The CSI Story
Our Foundation in Family and Safety
Ron and Esther Carnegie founded the Carnegie Safety Institute (CSI) as a family-owned training center with one clear goal: ensuring no emergency goes unanswered. While we have grown from our Fresno, California roots to include offices across the country, we still operate with the personal care of a family business and the professional standards required by the healthcare industry.
Our Milestone Achievements
Proven Impact Across the Country
We have helped transform hundreds of workplaces and certified more than 100,000 students. The numbers show why this work matters. While 90% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests are fatal, immediate bystander CPR can increase survival rates to 45%. By providing top-tier training from experienced professionals, we give people of all ages the confidence to step in and save a life when it counts.
Methodology and Standards
A Modern Way to Get Certified
Our classes follow the latest 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. We use a hybrid training model that gives you the best of both worlds: flexible online learning followed by focused, hands-on practice. This approach makes the process simple and ensures you master the skills, so you can walk away with your certification card the same day as your training.
Our Commitment to the Future
Making Training Accessible to Everyone
We believe life-saving skills should be available to everyone. That is why we provide training for Spanish-speaking clients and offer specialized courses ranging from Basic Life Support (BLS) to Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS). We are also helping train the next generation of educators through our instructor program, which can have you leading your own classes within months of your initial certification.
We are a family-owned team dedicated to providing professional certification and real-world emergency training.
Join over 100,000 people who are ready to save a life
If someone goes into cardiac arrest, immediate CPR can double or even triple their chance of survival. As a family-run institute with a national reach, we focus on providing 2020 AHA-compliant training that actually sticks. We give you the hands-on experience and clear instruction you need to act without hesitation. With hundreds of thousands of cardiac emergencies happening every year, we make sure you are ready to step in when it counts.

Carnegie Safety Institute CSI is the BEST place to get certifications for my needs at work! I have gotten my PALS with them twice and I will definitely look into using them for my other certifications in the future. They are very quick to respond and work with my already crazy schedule to accomplish the class. THANK YOU
