Dallas's Best CPR Classes

Nearly 70% of Americans say they wouldn’t know what to do if someone nearby had a heart attack—and that hesitation can cost lives. Since most cardiac arrests happen at home and often affect loved ones, CPR training gives you the power to act when every second counts. Our CPR classes in Dallas prepare everyone, from first-time learners to seasoned professionals, to handle real-world emergencies with skill and confidence.

What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique used when someone’s heart or breathing stops—often due to cardiac arrest, drowning, or other emergencies. It combines chest compressions to keep blood flowing to vital organs with rescue breaths to deliver oxygen. By maintaining circulation until professional medical help arrives, CPR can significantly increase a person’s chances of survival and recovery.

In our Dallas CPR training, you’ll learn how to:

• Perform CPR on adults, children, and infants
• Use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to restore a normal heart rhythm
• Respond quickly and confidently in critical situations

What to Expect in Your CPR Course

Our Red Cross CPR classes in Dallas are designed to prepare you for real-world emergencies at home, work, or in public. You’ll get hands-on experience practicing proper hand placement, compression depth, rescue breathing techniques, and AED operation on CPR manikins.

Interactive, instructor-led training includes step-by-step scenarios where you’ll:

• Recognize the signs of cardiac arrest
