Our Story

Built by healthcare professionals who’ve been in the room.

For 25 years, our founder worked as a medical professional — present during Code Reds, watching lives saved by quick CPR, and watching families lose loved ones because no one nearby knew what to do. Masters CPR exists to change that.

We’re experienced clinicians dedicated to in-person, hands-on instruction. Our goal isn’t just to hand you a card — it’s to give you the confidence to recognize cardiac arrest, perform CPR, and act decisively the moment it matters. That’s what “your success” means to us.

  • Real instruction, not a video. Every class is taught live, in person, with manikins in your hands.
  • Confidence you can use. We train you to stay calm and capable in a real emergency.
