Where can you learn CPR free of charge?
We get calls all the time asking where people can get a free CPR class, and we are tasked with telling people that they won't find a free class for those whose employment or educational facility requires certification. We usually explain that AHA materials are costly (and mandatory) for every participant, and the fee the instructor (or company) must pay for those materials account for about half of the fee charged for a given class. Since 99% of those asking must have the classes for certification, that's the end of the conversation.
BUT...if you are one of the few that simply wants to learn CPR for your own peace of mind and don't need a certification card, we have just the ticket!
Mark your calendars. The next class will be offered at the Northwest OKC library near NW 122nd & MacArthur...Saturday September 2nd @ 9:30 am. There is no catch...this is a free class offered to those who wish to learn simple steps they can take to respond in emergency situations and potentially save lives. Instead of charging for this valuable training, we will be accepting donations for OKC Regional Food Bank, so please bring a canned food or non-perishable food item with you. Since we need to know how many supplies to prepare, you must pre-register by contacting Heartland CPR via email "contact@HeartlandCPR.com" or by phone at 405-603-6666 and simply let us know your name, email address, phone number, and the number planning to attend…or self-register online at www.HeartlandCPR.com . That's it!
Remember, this is not for certification and targeted at those wishing to learn for their own peace of mind; if you are required to take a class for your employer or education requirements, this is not the class you need (although we can still help you with one of our American Heart Association classes taught throughout the month).
--------------------
Heartland CPR has created a short, PowerPoint-based class covering basic First Aid and hands-only CPR. We began offering what we call "First Aid 4 Dummies" (FA4D) to the public free of charge in 2015. We make nothing by offering it and will utilize our equipment, instructors, and expertise; it's just our way of giving back to a community that has allowed us to be successful since 2003 and watched us grow into the premier training company in Oklahoma.
Thanks for your interest in Heartland CPR!
A little about Heartland CPR, llc
Heartland CPR has quickly become the go-to choice in the OKC area and statewide for emergency training. We offer AHA's Heartsaver courses for non-medical personnel as well as BLS, ACLS and PALS for Healthcare Providers. We would be happy to get your recommendation when you are approached for training.
Although our business has celebrated over a decade in business, my husband Brian has been a paramedic within almost every system in the Oklahoma City area and been an instructor for most of the past 30 years. I have been an instructor and in business since 2003, and we have ten contracted instructors with combined experience as instructors as well as their fields of nursing and paramedicine well over half a century! With a minimum of six participants, we will take training to our customers in the metro area; we will even travel state-wide for larger classes. When there are smaller groups or individuals in need of training, we can accommodate those requests by combining individuals in order to make classes. We always have those classes which are open to the public posted on the schedule on our website, www.HeartlandCPR.com, for the coming months offered at our OKC office location at NW 10th & Council.
We work with many reputable practices and facilities in the metro area including Northwest Pediatrics, Pediatrics Group @ Integris, KidsFirst After Hours Pediatric Clinics, Deaconess, McBride Hospital, Oklahoma Heart Hospitals, SpineCare of Oklahoma, Northwest Surgical Hospital, and Community Hospital and are the exclusive training provider of LifeShare, ProCure, SmileGalaxy, One Core Health/Orthopedic Institute, Laser Spine Institute, and Oklahoma Christian's nursing program (for more than a decade); our non medical clientele includes US DOT, US Weather Service, Johnson Controls/JCI, Cytovance, FMC Technologies, Reagan Smith Energy, Taylor Valve, and Asplundh Tree Experts. We also participate as a skills session center for AHA's online courses if you encounter those that are interested in doing a portion of their training online.
When our customers let us know that they were frustrated by a lack of consistent vendor choices in the area selling AEDs and accessories, we entered that market in 2011 to keep our customers serviced. We have sub distributorships with Philips and HeartSine and can sell both brands to our customers at prices far more competitive than can be found locally or online. AED buyers get 10% off their future training requirements.
Heartland CPR is BBB-accredited with an A+ rating and was honored with the Torch Award for the OKC area in 2014. Ginger Davis was selected for SBA’s “Emerging Leaders” class and is a 2017 graduate. We have been ranked “Best Of” Thumbtack and many local directories too numerous to mention.
our mission
At Heartland CPR, teaching life-saving skills to others is our passion. By limiting our class sizes, minimizing test anxiety, and taking every opportunity to exceed the expectations of our customers, we engage participants with our fresh approach to training. Whether it's a customer's first class or fiftieth, we know that there is always something more that can be learned. When it comes to required certification training, boredom shouldn't be the norm and laughing shouldn't be outlawed. We believe that learning can - and should - be fun!
our vision
At Heartland CPR, we endeavor to set the training standard by making learning fun, offering superior service to our customers, and retaining talented trainers who continually strive for excellence in their fields. Respect for one another along with our collective faith-based values will guide our every decision and action. Our dedication to the training provider we represent, the contractor partners that represent us, and the customers that we serve sets us apart from our competition, impacting our continued growth and success.
