CPR-Certifications for Health Care Professionals & More!
CPR-Professionals LLC was created with one mission: to offer expert, hands-on instruction that gives people real confidence in emergencies. CPR is the simplest and most powerful tool any person can learn, yet many people feel intimidated or unsure where to start. We're here to change that.
GET IN TOUCHOur Goal..
Our goal is to show every student that CPR isn't rocket science. We believe anyone can master the basics, from chest compressions to using an AED to applying that perfect Band-Aid. Our instructors create an enjoyable, stress-free environment where learning life-saving skills feels natural, not overwhelming.
CPR-Professionals
Colorado's CPR certification professionals!
CPR-Professionals is a leading provider of CPR, AED, and First Aid training in the Boulder metro area and across Colorado. As an American Heart Association Authorized Training Center, we deliver courses that meet the highest standards in emergency cardiovascular care.
Our team of expert instructors offers comprehensive training programs designed for healthcare professionals, corporate teams, and everyday community members who want to be prepared when it matters most.
Every course follows the 2025 AHA Guidelines, which updated chest compression techniques, streamlined the choking response sequence to five back blows followed by five abdominal thrusts, and replaced the two-finger infant CPR method with the two-thumb encircling hands technique. These changes reflect the latest evidence in resuscitation science, and our instructors ensure every student leaves confident in applying them.
Why choose CPR-Professionals for your certification?
Choosing the right training provider can be the difference between a certificate that sits in a drawer and real-world confidence that saves a life. Here is what sets our Boulder training center apart.
AHA authorized training center
We are directly authorized by the American Heart Association, the gold standard in cardiovascular education. Every certification we issue is recognized by hospitals, employers, and licensing boards nationwide.
Same-day digital eCards
No waiting weeks for a paper card. Upon successful completion, students receive their official AHA eCard the same day, ready to share with employers, schools, or credentialing offices immediately.
Small class sizes, big results
We keep our student-to-instructor ratio at 6:1 for new instructors and 9:1 for experienced instructors. Smaller classes mean more hands-on practice, more individual feedback, and stronger skill retention.
Courses updated for 2025 guidelines
Our curriculum reflects every update from the 2025 AHA Guidelines, including revised compression depths of 2 to 2.4 inches, rates of 100 to 120 per minute, and the newest infant and child resuscitation protocols.
Hands-on, stress-free learning
We create a supportive, engaging classroom environment where students build real muscle memory on professional-grade mannequins and AED trainers, not just memorize answers for a test.

Become an Instructor TODAY!What to expect from CPR certification in Boulder, Colorado
CPR-Professionals has trained thousands of Coloradans, from first-time babysitters to ICU nurses, in the skills that turn bystanders into first responders. Every class at our Boulder training center on Lookout Road is built around the latest 2025 American Heart Association Guidelines, taught by working healthcare professionals, and designed to send students home with real, repeatable muscle memory rather than a checklist of facts.
How long do CPR and BLS classes take?
Most initial certifications run between three and four hours, including hands-on skills, AED practice, and the written exam. Renewal classes for current cardholders typically take two to three hours. If you choose our HeartCode BLS blended option, the online module takes about ninety minutes at home, followed by a shorter in-person skills session in Boulder.
Who needs CPR certification in Colorado?
Healthcare providers, dental staff, childcare workers, personal trainers, coaches, lifeguards, construction supervisors, and many other Colorado professionals are required by their employer, licensing board, or OSHA to hold an active CPR or BLS card. Parents, grandparents, hikers, and neighbors take our classes voluntarily so they can act with confidence during the critical minutes before paramedics arrive. Cardiac arrest survival rates roughly double when bystander CPR begins immediately, which is why community training matters as much as professional credentialing.
What makes CPR-Professionals different?
We are a small, instructor-owned training center, not a national franchise. That means Dave Rush, our founder and lead instructor, personally meets nearly every student who walks through the door. We cap class sizes for genuine one-on-one coaching, use professional-grade mannequins with real-time compression feedback, and issue your official AHA eCard the same day you pass. Whether you are pursuing your BLS for Healthcare Providers card, a Heartsaver CPR AED certification, or organizing on-site group training for your team, you are working directly with the people teaching the class.
How much does a CPR class cost?
Individual BLS for Healthcare Providers certification starts at $75 per student, with the AHA eBook sold separately. Heartsaver and First Aid options are similarly priced, and group rates start at $65 per student for organizations training six or more people on-site. Full course pricing, recertification options, and instructor pathway costs are listed on our transparent pricing page. There are no hidden card fees and no charge for retesting on the same day.
Ready to get certified?
