Why Pittsburgh Families and Businesses Choose The Life Safety Pro
There are a lot of CPR certification options in Pittsburgh. Here is what makes ours different.
You are not learning from a video or an automated system. You are learning from a working paramedic and firefighter who responds to real emergencies in the Pittsburgh area. The techniques I teach are the same ones I use in the field. When I show you how to perform CPR on an infant, it is because I have done it. When I explain what a choking emergency looks like in a toddler, it is because I have been on those calls.
That real-world experience changes how the training feels — and how well it sticks when you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions — CPR Training Pittsburgh
How long does a CPR class take in Pittsburgh? Most classes run approximately 2 hours. Pediatric CPR and First Aid classes may run slightly longer depending on group size and questions. In-home private sessions are flexible based on the modules you select. Newborn Safety Training is conducted in your home at a flat family rate and timing is flexible based on your family's needs.
Does the Newborn Safety Training include certification? The Newborn Safety Training is a family-focused educational session rather than a certification course. It is designed to give new parents and caregivers the confidence and skills to handle infant emergencies — not to meet workplace certification requirements. If you need AHA and HSI certification for professional or compliance purposes, our Pediatric CPR and First Aid class is the right choice.
