CPR Training for SchoolsWhen a student collapses on the gym floor, a teacher chokes in the cafeteria, or a visitor goes into cardiac arrest at a Friday night game, the first few minutes matter most. Chicago CPR Academy brings hands-on CPR, AED and First Aid training directly to your school, so your staff is ready to act before paramedics arrive.
We are a firefighter-owned training company and an authorized vendor for Chicago Public Schools. Our instructors are working and retired firefighters, paramedics, nurses and healthcare professionals who teach from real emergency experience, not just a textbook. Every participant can earn a same-day, two-year American Heart Association CPR & AED certification.

Schools are busy places with students, staff, parents and visitors all on campus every day. Sudden cardiac arrest and choking can happen anywhere, and they are most likely during athletic events, physical education classes, practices and after-school activities.
Illinois law requires secondary schools to include CPR and AED instruction in their curriculum, using nationally recognized training standards. Preparing your adults to respond, and your students to help, protects everyone on campus and supports your school’s emergency planning.
We provide on-site CPR, AED and First Aid training for:
Give your teachers and administrators the skills and confidence to respond to a cardiac emergency. Our AHA-approved courses cover adult, child and infant CPR, AED use and choking relief, so your staff is prepared no matter which age group they work with.
Teaching students CPR builds a culture of safety on campus. Our student programs are age-appropriate and hands-on, teaching the fundamentals of CPR and how to respond in an emergency. Students leave with skills they can use at school, at home and in the community.
Training works best when it is part of a plan. We can incorporate our courses into your school’s Cardiac Emergency Response Plan, so staff know where AEDs are located, who responds, and exactly what to do in the first minutes of a cardiac emergency.
We understand how tight school schedules are. We come to you and can train during staff in-service days, before or after school, or whenever works best, keeping disruption to classes to a minimum. We bring all the equipment, including manikins and AED trainers.
Our CPR and AED courses are hands-on, so every participant practices the skills instead of just watching. Staff learn to:
First Aid and BLS options are also available for school nurses, athletic trainers and other staff who need them.
