Evanston is one of the most dynamic and diverse communities on Chicago's North Shore — home to Northwestern University, a major healthcare corridor anchored by Northwestern Memorial and NorthShore University HealthSystem, and a vibrant mix of residential neighborhoods, lakefront parks, and cultural institutions. The city's commitment to public health and community preparedness makes CPR training a natural fit for Evanston residents.

Evanston's lakefront parks and beaches draw thousands of visitors and residents year-round for swimming, running, cycling, and outdoor fitness. The city's extensive recreational programs, from youth sports to senior fitness, create environments where exercise-induced cardiac events are a real possibility. Having trained lifeguards, coaches, park staff, and bystanders along the lakefront can make the difference between life and death.

We offer AHA-certified CPR classes at convenient locations serving Evanston and the surrounding North Shore communities, near the downtown corridor and Northwestern's campus. Classes are scheduled with Evanston's diverse professional community in mind — evening sessions after work, weekend classes for families and students, and early morning options for healthcare shift workers.

Our Evanston classes cover all standard certifications: CPR + AED for community members and Northwestern students, BLS for healthcare providers at area hospitals, ACLS for ER and critical care staff, PALS for pediatric providers, and CPR + First Aid for comprehensive preparedness. Every class delivers same-day AHA certification.

Evanston/Skokie School District 65 and Evanston Township High School District 202 employ hundreds of teachers, coaches, and staff who need current CPR certification. Illinois requires CPR for many school personnel roles. We offer group CPR training for Evanston schools, scheduling around the academic calendar and certifying entire staff teams in a single session.
