CPR Classes in Fort Pierce: AHA BLS Certification (Same-Day Cards)
If you live or work on the Treasure Coast, you need a certification that employers actually accept. Many online-only "CPR courses" are not recognized by local hospitals or nursing programs.
At Medical Plus Training Center, every class follows official American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. Whether you are a nursing student at Indian River State College, a healthcare professional at a local hospital, or a caregiver, our certification is universally accepted.
The Medical Plus Difference:
✅ Official AHA Certification: Recognized by all Florida hospitals, clinics, and schools.
✅ RN-Led Instruction: Learn directly from a Registered Nurse with over a decade of experience—not just a video.
✅ Same-Day Cards: Walk out with your proof of certification immediately. No waiting.
✅ Small Class Sizes: We cap classes at 8 students so you get personal coaching and low-stress practice.
