We provide basic and advanced life support training for healthcare professionals across all disciplines, including nurses, physicians, respiratory therapists, paramedics, and other frontline providers. Whether you work in a busy emergency department, a rural clinic, a critical care unit, or a pediatric care setting, our courses are tailored to meet the demands of your environment.
Whether you're new to basic life support, advanced resuscitation, or renewing your certification, you'll gain hands-on experience with realistic simulations that prepare you for high-stakes situations. Our goal is to help you develop the confidence, clinical judgment, and technical skills necessary to respond effectively in emergencies.
Our Instructors
Our instructors are certified by the Heart & Stroke Foundation and bring decades of real-world experience in emergency, critical care, and pediatric settings. They've worked in both urban and rural settings and understand the unique challenges that come with each.
You’ll learn from professionals who not only teach but actively practice what they preach. Each session is led using state-of-the-art simulation mannequins and the same medical equipment you use on the job. Training is practical, scenario-based, and designed to help you become a stronger, more prepared member of your healthcare team.
