Let’s Be Partners — Together, We are Improving Patient Outcomes
It really is the perfect match — ACLS Certification Association (ACA) and CPR.com come together as the partners with a mission to save more lives in our communities. As the ACA parent company, CPR.com is the engine that drives our mission of improving patient outcomes through better education.
We are so proud of this partnership. Why? Because together, we take our strengths and blend them together to create improved CPR and advanced life-saving care. And it’s this care that is truly making inroads in improving patient outcomes in clinical settings and beyond.
Completely Free CPR Training
Let’s take a moment to discuss how our partnership works. ACA is tasked with providing advanced cardiac life support training and a long list of other critical emergency cardiovascular care certifications. CPR.com takes what ACA does and has the goal of making it accessible to everyone, no matter where they live. To highlight this partnership, we take pride in providing CPR training to the public at zero cost.
Join In. Support Our Mission With the CPR.com Initiative
We need people who love to get in there and make things happen. Are you enthusiastic and need an outlet that supports a mission of saving more lives? We can’t do this without people like you — your commitment and contributions are what make it happen. By working together, we can put life-saving care into the hands of more people and get more people the training they need to assist during cardiac medical emergencies. When you support our mission, we get more free CPR education to more people across the country and all over the world.
We are Giving You the Confidence to Save Lives With Better Education
We are changing the medical field by calling for reforms that truly ensure that the latest medical guidelines and best practices are put into use and applied everywhere. When you support us, it gives us more power to innovate and boost our digital platform so that more people can get access to the needed life-saving education from anywhere in the world. While the CPR.com Initiative is an initiative — it’s so much more than that. This is a movement. We are moving forward together to make sure that anyone across the world can get the skills they need to save lives in their communities.
CPR Training Must Be Accessible to All
This partnership is the bridge that takes all of the resources and the expertise of the ACA’s program and medical team and connects it to the broader mission of CPR.com. And the partnership is further strengthened by every medical professional who chooses ACLS Certification Association for their certifications across a long list of emergency medical education. Only by working together can we truly transcend geographical divides and break down all of the financial barriers that keep people from getting life-saving CPR training.
We Have a Large Network of ACA Authorized Training Centers
Our ACA Authorized Training Centers are the engine that drives the CPR.com Initiative forward. To make our mission of providing unmatched access to life-saving training, we have located these ACA Authorized Training Centers throughout the country and even across the whole world.
A person’s background or socio-economic background should have absolutely no impact on a person getting what they need for education, and that is especially true when it comes to life-saving training. The entire point of the CPR.com Initiative is to tear down the barriers that stand in the way by making sure anyone across the globe can get access to CPR training. Think of it this way — the ACA Authorized Training Centers are the spaces that drive our mission forward. It’s at these training centers where people get access to superior education, teaching, and resources that have been created by real medical professionals who have performed life-saving in the field. When we get training to more people, we can save more lives together. It’s that simple.
Quality Digital CPR Education
When we formed this partnership, we set out to create a digital platform that provides the best and highest quality CPR instruction available — all at no cost to you. We acknowledge that there are others out there providing free CPR training, but their digital materials and curriculum are lacking or even nonexistent. Our training includes modalities like:
- Video tutorials
- Study guides
- Practice tests
- Full assessments & exams
The writers and editors of our curriculum are all medical practitioners with years of experience in different emergency medicine fields. Our partnership also takes the latest guidelines from the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) and puts them at the forefront of everything we do. Most importantly, it’s our stance that high-quality CPR education should be accessible to everyone of every background and living in any location, which sets our mission apart.
How We Make Free CPR Training Possible
You might be sitting back and wondering right now how we can actually go about making this life-saving education and training free for everyone. It’s because we have healthcare providers who love our mission and provide their support. They even provide their expertise in producing the ACLS Certification Association and CPR.com emergency certification courses curriculum. Some of the proceeds from each certification course help fund our free CPR training initiatives.
Why Hands-Only CPR Training Matters
Every year, out-of-hospital cardiac arrests claim 350,000 lives in the United States. Immediate CPR can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival. But here’s the thing — a lot of times, these cardiovascular emergencies happen at home or in the workplace.
As the studies have shown, hands-only CPR makes a huge difference. So, when you learn this life-saving technique, you are equipping yourself to be able to save your loved ones or other members of your community.
Helping Communities Save More Lives With Free CPR Certification
While ACLS Certification Association and CPR.com make it our mission to teach hands-only CPR, did you know that our partnership also provides free CPR certification training? Because the medical field is ever-changing, and critical-care medicine seems to always be at the forefront of change, we provide free CPR training to encourage people in all communities to refresh their life-saving skills every two years. When you have a valid CPR certification card, you also have the confidence to respond with readiness during cardiac emergencies.
Personal and Professional Development
Holding a valid CPR certification card puts you in a position for personal and professional development. First, it boosts the confidence of the person holding the certification. Our goal is to get you completely confident in your ability to assist someone experiencing a cardiac emergency with life-saving care. And professionally, your CPR certification can help open up more career doors and opportunities.
Expanding Opportunities
People who are proactive in getting trained in CPR often find themselves with more opportunities. For example, schools, colleges, rec facilities, and jobs in the corporate world all respect those trained with life-saving skills. Getting your free training in CPR can set you up with opportunities for new and exciting roles where health plays a priority.

We Are Helping Bystanders Become Lifesavers
If even only 10% of bystanders have life-saving CPR skills, we could save so many more lives during cardiac medical emergencies. But we think we can do even better than 10% — our mission is to get this life-saving care into the hands of everyone. We can do it—with your help, it is possible.
Global Connection — We are Giving Life-Saving Skills to the People Across All Communities
Empowerment. When a community feels empowered, there is nothing that can get in the way of helping others. And the CPR.com Initiative knows that empowerment comes through access to education.
When people of all backgrounds and creeds have access to life-saving training, it gives everyone the confidence to step up during a cardiovascular medical emergency and perform necessary care or assist our neighbors. This partnership empowers communities everywhere to improve patient outcomes and to help our neighbors whenever they can.
