CPR for Schools

Since 2014, Utah has required that each high school student take a CPR training class in order to graduate. Advanced CPR Training has taught tens of thousands of Utah students during our 20 year history and have designed our class to provide the best instruction and hands-on practice in a timeframe that suits each the needs of each school.

Our CPR training for students is designed to teach basic life support skills and provide students with the knowledge and tools needed to respond to medical emergencies and potentially save lives. This course is typically taught in a classroom setting and includes both instruction and hands-on skills practice. 

In addition to CPR training for students, we also offer our HeartSaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED class for faculty and preschool instructors. The course we teach is the most complete course available. This course focuses on medical emergencies that may occur in adults, children, and infants. It covers CPR, AED use, choking relief, as well as pediatric first aid.

Utah CPR Requirements Grant

In 2022, the Utah legislature passed a bill that provided a $6 grant for each student to receive CPR training from a certified, professional organization. Advanced CPR Training has been vetted by the Utah State Board of Education to provide this training. For more information on the grant, click here.

Unlike other companies, we have over 60 adult/child and infant manikins to ensure a 2:1 student-to-manikin ratio so that students are engaged the entire time.

What Schools Say About the HeartSaver® Class

Riverton High School has used Advanced CPR Training LLC for 20 years to certify our Sports Medicine, Introduction to Health Science, and Consumer Health Students accommodation of up to four classes at one time. They are very professional in their delivery and handling a large group of students, providing a two student to one manikin ratio for great hands on practice. We tried another group once, but we went right back to Advanced CPR for all our CPR/AED training needs. The best part is they come to you and work around whatever crazy assembly or lunch schedule your school may have. To me personally, this is a very important skill to have—and I would highly recommend Advanced CPR to everyone needing to know and learn this skill!
Trudy Pecorelli Riverton High School
Advanced CPR Training is the best!!! Not only do they bring medical expertise but also a background in education so it’s the best of both worlds. They do an incredible job of keeping the students engaged and connected and they utilize their time wisely, so the students aren’t waiting around or getting distracted. They bring enough adult and infant CPR manikins so that there are two students per manikin. This makes for zero down time; the students aren’t standing around waiting for their turn. They also have the students run through emergency scenarios with an AED trainer, so they are prepared and feel confident in their abilities to help the community. I can’t say enough about them and their instructors. My students were engaged and loved that amount of hands-on training.

I have had Advanced CPR Training come to my high schools for several years now, both at Herriman High and also at Mountain Ridge High. Matt Birch and his staff do an excellent job with their training. They are very professional, experienced, and do a great job engaging students in the training program. I have always been impressed with how they run their training program and will continue to bring them into my school because of how well they train the students and how good they are to work with. I highly recommend Advanced CPR Training.
