CPR Certification

Our CPR certification classes are open to everyone, regardless of experience level. We teach you the skills and knowledge needed to respond to cardiac and breathing emergencies. Needing a new or renewal certification? We can provide this. 

Flexible Training

We offer a variety of training options to fit your schedule and needs. Whether you need a certification for an employer or you simply would like to learn CPR/Choking/AED/First Aid we have a solution that works for you. Upcoming classes will be posted online or you may reach out and training can be made by individual appointment. 

Community CPR

Community classes can be provided via the Friends & Family class. This route is great for those interested in learning CPR but not required to carry a certification through their employer. A shorter class but all the information needed to respond to a cardiac or breathing emergency. 

Our Mission

At Des Moines CPR, our mission is to empower individuals and organizations within our community with the knowledge and skills needed to respond during cardiac and respiratory emergencies. Through high-quality training, tailored to diverse needs and schedules, we aim to foster a culture of preparedness and confidence in responding to critical situations. With a commitment to excellence and accessibility, we strive to make CPR education accessible to all, ensuring that every person has the ability to make a life-saving difference when it matters most.

CPR Classes for Everyone

Online CPR Certification Classes

Online CPR classes are a convenient and affordable way to learn life-saving techniques. You can complete the coursework at your own pace through the blended learning platform provided by the American Heart Association (Heartcode). A portion will be completed online followed by an in-person skills review and assessment. Sign up or reach out for an in-person skills assessment.

CPR Training for School and Youth Groups

We offer CPR training for schools and youth groups, including Scouts and other organizations. Our classes are tailored to the age and experience level of the participants. Those as young as 9 years old can learn CPR.

Corporate CPR Workshops

Elevate workplace safety with our Corporate CPR Workshops, providing hands-on training for effective emergency response. Tailored sessions ensure your team is prepared to handle cardiac and respiratory emergencies confidently.

Non-Certification CPR Knowledge Classes

We offer CPR training for all those interested in learning but their employer/licensing does not require an official certification. This would be the "Friends & Family" class we offer. It is about 1.5 hours. This personnel may include babysitters, parents, grandparents, and general community members.

CPR for New Parents, Grandparents

Specialized classes for expectant parents, focusing on CPR techniques for infants and newborns, along with essential first aid skills for common baby-related emergencies.

Non-traditional CPR Classes

We can offer "Friends and Family" classes in all types of settings. If you have a desire for those you know and love to be equipped to perform CPR, we offer non-traditional classes in conjunction with current events such as: baby showers, wedding showers, CPR parties (the new Tupperware party), retirement parties, funerals, graduations, block parties, pool parties, birthday parties, FFA Groups, Girl/Boy Scouts..... You name it, we'll teach at it!
