Class FAQs

REGISTRATION & SCHEDULING

Q: Where are classes held?
A: Open enrollment weekly classes are held in Flower Mound & Lewisville. Private classes are mobile to you anywhere in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and North Texas area!

If lost or running late, do not call the location, please call/text your instructor to let us know: (214) 492-9335.

Q: What if I need to reschedule?
A: We understand that things come up. If you need to reschedule, please let us know in writing as soon as possible:

  • More than 24 hours notice: We can transfer you to a future class one time, at no extra cost. You must complete your class within 30 days of the original date.

  • Less than 24 hours notice: A $30 rescheduling fee will apply to transfer you to a future class. Transfers are not permitted once a class has started.

Q: What is your cancellation and refund policy?
A: Because our classes often fill to capacity, a cancellation means you may be taking a seat from another student:

  • 3 or more days before class: You can receive a full refund, minus a $15 cancellation fee.

  • Less than 48 hours before class: No refunds are available.

  • No-Show: If you do not show up for class and provide no prior notice, you are not eligible for a refund.

Q: What if I’m late to class?
A: Please arrive a few minutes early to ensure you get the most out of your training. Students who are more than 15 minutes late will not be allowed to join the class. This policy is in place to ensure all students receive the critical, hands-on training required for certification. If you are late, you will need to re-register and pay the full class fee to attend a future session.Q: What if I didn't finish the online pre-work for my blended learning course?
A: The online portion must be 100% complete before you attend your in-person skills session. If you fail to complete it, you will not be admitted to class and will need to reschedule according to our transfer policy.Q: I'm having difficulty logging in at Red Cross to complete the online pre-work portion
A: The American Red Cross national organization is aware of an ongoing issue with emails with the pre-course instructions being sent to spam/junk folders. Check to see if you have received an email from: [email protected]. If you still have not received an email with instructions after 12 hours, please contact us immediately. Alternatively, you can follow these troubleshooting steps:

CERTIFICATIONS & CONTENT

Q: When will I receive my certification?
A: We know just how important your certification is! That's why we don't make you wait, your digital certification will be issued to you only a couple of short hours (or usually less!) after you successfully complete the course (depending on American Red Cross national org website traffic). Your certification will include a unique ID and QR code, making it easy for employers to verify your credentials online.Q: Are your courses OSHA-approved?
A: Yes! Our First Aid/CPR/AED and BLS trainings are fully OSHA-approved for two years and are provided by the most current American Red Cross training curriculum.Q: What is a BLS certification, and do I need one?
A: BLS stands for "Basic Life Support" and is the standard CPR certification for healthcare professionals and first responders. Many professions, including RNs, EMTs, dentists, and physical therapists, are required to have this certification. However, anyone who wants a more comprehensive lifesaving class can register, as there are no prerequisites. If you are unsure which course you need, contact us.Q: Can’t I just get my CPR certification entirely online?
A: For most job requirements, the answer is no. While many courses use a blended learning format with an online component, they all require an in-person, hands-on skills session to meet OSHA and other national safety standards. An online-only certification is often not accepted by employers because you are unable to practice the lifesaving skills needed in a real emergency.Q: Why was my online-only BLS certificate rejected by my employer?
A: Online-only BLS certifications are not accepted by any healthcare organization because they do not include the required hands-on practice. We teach the American Red Cross's officially licensed blended learning course, which allows you to complete the classroom portion online but still requires a 2 to 2.5-hour hands-on skills session with an instructor. This ensures you can confidently perform these lifesaving skills, resulting in a valid and authentic certification.Q: Who teaches your classes?
A: Our instructors are highly qualified professionals, including former veteran retired Firefighter/Paramedics, EMS instructors, and Emergency Department RNs with extensive real-world experience. They are passionate about providing an engaging and memorable learning experience.Q: My last CPR class was so boring! Please tell me yours aren’t like that!
A: We take pride in the quality of our classes. As medical professionals ourselves, we have sat through our fair share of boring classes too, so we know what to avoid! We strive to make every session interactive and encourage you to ask questions. Our goal is to give you a depth of understanding you won't get anywhere else.Q: How old do you have to be to learn CPR?
A: The course content is suitable for individuals aged 11 and older. Please note that minors under 15 must be accompanied by a participating adult. For safety and to minimize distractions, children under 11 are not permitted in the training room during classes, with the exception of nursing mothers with infants.

Classroom Safety

Since 2002, the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) Program at Texas State University has been the national standard for active shooter response. Law enforcement agencies across the country have used this training to shorten response times and save lives.In response to a growing public demand for civilian training, ALERRT developed the Avoid | Deny | Defend™ program. This simple, easy-to-remember method gives individuals a strategy to protect themselves during an active threat—because we've learned that "hiding and hoping" is not an effective solution.

BE PREPARED
Avoid starts with your state of mind:

  • Pay attention to your surroundings.

  • Have an exit plan.

  • Move away from the source of the threat as quickly as possible.

  • The more distance and barriers between you and the threat, the better.

Deny when getting away is difficult or maybe impossible:

  • Keep a distance between you and the source.

  • Create barriers to prevent or slow down a threat from getting to you.

  • Turn the lights off.

  • Remain out of sight and quiet by hiding behind large objects and silencing your phone.

Defend because you have the right to protect yourself:

  • If you cannot Avoid or Deny, be prepared to defend yourself.

  • Be aggressive and committed to your actions.

  • Do not fight fairly.

  • THIS IS ABOUT SURVIVAL.

We offer this critical training as a community resource to Parent & Teacher groups free of charge.

Virtual CPR

Get certified from the comfort of your home or office! Our virtual CPR training combines the convenience of online learning with the essential hands-on skills training required for an official, OSHA-approved certification from the American Red Cross.How it works: our blended learning approach includes two parts:

  • Online Training: Complete the self-paced, online course from the American Red Cross. This interactive portion takes about 2.5 to 3.25 hours and covers the foundational knowledge you'll need. You'll receive access to this training in your registration confirmation email (Note: online training must be completed before your scheduled Zoom session.)

  • Live Virtual Skills Session: After completing the online training, you'll join a live, interactive Zoom session with a certified instructor. They will guide you through the hands-on skills portion, providing real-time feedback and ensuring you gain the critical skills required for certification. These sessions are kept small, with 1 to 6 students, allowing for personalized attention.

To participate in the hands-on portion, you'll need a CPR training kit:

  • Use your own equipment if you already have a compatible kit.

  • Or, you can purchase our reusable kit for a one-time fee of $50 when you register. This kit is non-refundable and can be used for future training. (we ship directly to your home or office.)

Certification provided is the exact same two-year certification issued by the American Red Cross for in-person classes. Once you've completed both parts of the training, you'll receive your official, OSHA-approved certification directly from the American Red Cross via email, or options are available for a laminated card to be mailed as well.

Why Choose Virtual CPR?

  • Ultimate Flexibility: Train from anywhere—whether in your PJs at home or your uniform at work.

  • High-Quality Instruction: A live instructor monitors and guides you, ensuring you master the hands-on skills.

  • Official Certification: Receive a nationally recognized, OSHA-approved certification from the American Red Cross.

Our goal is to make comprehensive CPR training accessible, flexible, and affordable for everyone—from private individuals to large organizations. We offer training for small private groups, large workplace classes, and individuals joining an already scheduled session.
