Palm Beach County Florida - The CPR School offers the American Heart Association CPR AED BLS for Heatlhcare provider training certification classes at our Palm Beach County classroom. Keith Murray, owner of The CPR School, LLC is also the lead instructor. Keith indicates that they try to make their classes interesting with real world examples. We start most classes by asking how many of our students have used CPR or AEDs before in real medical emergencies? We then ask those students to share real world examples with the class. The reality of having to use CPR and an AED makes people realize, this could be me saving someone, I need to really pay attention.

We strive to make the classes both interesting and entertaining while encouraging students to participate, ask questions and think about real life saving situations.

Plus, our lead instructors are full time insured employees of The CPR School. Another difference, in all classes students are trained on at least two different AEDs.
