These in-person sessions usually take between one and four hours.
You will receive your official certification card on the same day you finish your training.
Become a Certified Instructor
Take the next step in your career and start teaching others.
If you want to step into a leadership role, we provide the training you need to become a certified instructor. After your initial class and a successful monitored session, you can lead your own courses. We give you the tools and support to issue valid CPR, AED, and first aid credentials to your own students.
The initial certification cost is $550 and is renewed every two years.
Why Quality Training Matters
The real impact of immediate bystander action.
Roughly 350,000 cardiac arrests happen outside of hospitals every year in the US, and about 90% of those people do not make it. High-quality CPR can double or even triple those survival rates. We focus our training on building high-performing teams that can push survival rates from 10% toward 45%.
Starting CPR immediately is often the single most important factor in whether someone survives.

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
