About Us
About Forward CPR Training
Madison's dedicated provider of American Heart Association aligned CPR, AED and First Aid certification.
Our Story
Dedicated to Saving Lives
Forward CPR Training was founded on a simple idea: the skills that save lives should be easy to get, properly taught, and available to everyone in our community — not just to people who work in hospitals.
We do one thing and we do it well. CPR, AED and First Aid certification. That focus is deliberate. It means small classes, enough manikin time to actually build muscle memory, instructors who have used these skills in the field, and scheduling that works around your shifts instead of against them.
Based in Madison, Wisconsin, we serve Dane County and the surrounding communities — Middleton, Fitchburg, Sun Prairie, Verona, Waunakee, Monona, Janesville and beyond. Whether we are certifying a single parent on a Saturday morning or an entire nursing home staff on-site, we bring the same standard to every session.
What We Stand For
- Hands-on, always. Skills are built on manikins, not slides.
- No wasted time. Classes start on time and end on time.
- Cards same day. You leave certified, not waiting.
- Straight pricing. $99 classroom, $89 blended. No surprises.
- We come to you. On-site group training anywhere in the area.
