What we do
CPR, BLS, and First Aid certification in Pueblo, Colorado
Small in-person classes, hands-on practice, AHA-issued certifications accepted nationwide.
Three core classes
Basic Life Support (BLS) for healthcare providers — new, renewal, or expired — and HeartSaver Total for everyone else. Flat, visible pricing. AHA-issued, accepted nationwide.
Who these classes are for
Healthcare providers
Nurses, CNAs, medical and dental staff, students, and first responders. Our BLS Provider classes cover new cards, renewals, and expired cards alike — so whether yours lapsed last month or you're certifying for the first time, you're covered. Every class earns a two-year AHA Provider card accepted nationwide.
Parents, teachers & community
Parents and grandparents, teachers, childcare and daycare staff, babysitters, coaches, and fitness instructors. Our HeartSaver classes teach CPR, AED, and First Aid in plain language — no medical background needed. You'll leave knowing what to do, with a two-year AHA card to show for it.
Learn from a nurse who still does this work
We started Rescue Ready Academy because Pueblo deserved an alternative to big-city pricing and crowded, impersonal classrooms. You learn in a small group on Main Street from Kim Glenn, RN — an AHA instructor with more than 30 years in healthcare who still works as a nurse today. We don't rush you through a video. We stay hands-on, answer your questions, and work with you until you're genuinely comfortable doing it yourself.
What you'll walk away with
- A two-year AHA certification, issued the day you pass and accepted nationwide
- Real hands-on practice on manikins and an AED — not just a video and a quiz
73.4% of cardiac arrests happen at home.
When a heart stops outside a hospital, it most often happens in a home or residence — not a stadium or an office (American Heart Association). The person you're ready to save is most likely someone you love: a parent, a partner, a child, a neighbor. Help is usually minutes away — you can be ready now.
Need to certify a whole team?
Workplaces, clinics, daycares, gyms, churches, and community groups can train together — at your location or our downtown classroom. Tell us how many people and what you need, and we'll build a class around your schedule.
Common questions
How much do CPR and BLS classes cost?
Basic Life Support (BLS) is $70 for new or expired providers, or $60 to renew, plus a $20 workbook — $90 or $80 total. HeartSaver Total is $85 plus a $10 workbook — $95 total. Group and workplace pricing is available on request.
How long is an AHA certification valid?
AHA course completion cards are valid for two years from the day they're issued. Plan to renew before your card expires so your certification never lapses.
Do I need to be a healthcare worker to take a class?
No. BLS is built for healthcare providers and professional rescuers, but our HeartSaver classes are open to everyone — parents, caregivers, teachers, coaches, and workplace teams. No medical background needed.
