TRAINING THAT GOES BEYOND THE CHECKLIST

Learn the “Whys,” Not Just the “Hows.”

At Deep in the Heart CPR, you’ll learn from Kristy J. Anderson — a veteran firefighter/paramedic, EMS educator and former Fortune 500 safety executive with 25+ years of experience in emergency response, education and workplace safety.

 

I teach more than the steps needed to earn a certification. You’ll understand why those steps matter, what real emergencies actually look like, and how to adapt when real life doesn’t follow the textbook — because when someone’s life is on the line, memorizing the steps isn’t enough. Understanding them builds confidence!

As a medical provider I’ve taken many CPR and First Aide courses. I even took a CPR and first aide course in college for an entire semester. This was STILL the most in depth, realistic, useful and informative class I’ve had. Not only was WHAT we need to do explained but the WHY. It helped make sense and close loops that have been left open from years of education on CPR and First Aide that had many gaps. I’ll be taking more classes!

Jamie Young

This was a highly informative and engaging CPR class. The instructor Kristy was incredibly passionate about making sure we were well equipped to handle emergency situations, and I felt confident when I left the class, as well as looking forward to updating my first aid kit. She also took the time to stay after class to show me more about the aspects of the class I had more questions about. I highly recommend.

Did CPR certification today for the first time in years and I was very proud I remembered how to do it, plus they gave out narcan and taught us how to use it! I did get my AED pads backwards at first though bc ya girl is not good at left and right the class I did was through Deep in the Heart CPR and the instructor was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and it was a combo online/in person class so it was only 2 1/2 hours of classroom time. I definitely recommend her if you need to get your certification and your employer doesn't hold a class.

I have been a health care provider for more than 50 years and currently volunteer with the American Red Cross. I am required maintain current CPR certification. I was very impressed with the time I spent with Kristy at Deep In The Heart CPR. Her level of knowledge and professionalism is exceptional. She was able to adjust her teaching to fit my level of knowledge and physical constraints. I will see her again in 2 years when it is time to recertify again.

I completed ny Pediatric/Adult/AED instruction and it was amazing! It was so fun and full of energy! I highly recommend to anyone who needs CPR training! Not only was she fun and entertaining, but she also made sure I knew everything and took the time to ask me if I was ready to move on. We went through real life scenarios that one would actually come across. I highly recommend Deep in the Heart CPR!
