Why Audiologists Choose Us

CPR Training Built for Audiology Professionals

Generic CPR classes don't address the specific scenarios audiologists face. We built our training around real audiology practice — vasovagal responses during testing, patient falls in clinical settings, and the unique needs of hearing-impaired patients during emergencies.

AuD Program Aligned

Our BLS classes meet the specific requirements of Illinois AuD programs including Northwestern, Rush University, and Salus University clinical placements. No generic training — we cover hospital audiology protocols.

Same-Day Cards

Walk out of class with your AHA BLS or CPR + First Aid certification card in hand. No waiting for mail delivery when your clinical rotation or employer deadline is approaching.

Hospital Protocol Training

We include real-world scenarios specific to audiology practice: vasovagal response during caloric testing, patient falls in sound booths, and emergency response in outpatient ENT clinic settings.

Small Class Sizes

Classes capped at 12 students for individual mannequin time and instructor feedback. Every audiologist gets hands-on practice until confident in their response skills.

Flexible Scheduling

Evening and weekend classes designed for working audiologists who can't take time away from patient schedules during clinic hours. Saturday morning sessions are our most popular option.

ABA & AAA Accepted

AHA certification is accepted by the American Board of Audiology (ABA), American Academy of Audiology (AAA), and all Illinois hospital credentialing departments without exception.
