Arizona CPR Training
Built on Experience

Our Story

Founder Brad Leakey began instructing CPR and First Aid for the Phoenix Fire Department in 1987, bringing real-world emergency response experience directly into the classroom. In 1991, the firefighter and paramedic founded CPR Plus+ to provide practical, high-quality emergency training to individuals, businesses, healthcare providers, schools and organizations.

First Responder Expertise

CPR Plus+ training is grounded in real emergency-response experience and hands-on instruction. Our instructors offer certification courses through the American Heart Association, American Red Cross and HSI/ASHI. Their firefighter and paramedic experience helps students move beyond memorizing course material to develop the knowledge, confidence and practical understanding needed during an emergency. CPR instruction also emphasizes two-person CPR, communication and coordinated response.

Why Choose CPR Plus+

CPR Plus+ combines decades of first-responder experience with recognized certification programs and instruction delivered at the customer's location. We primarily serve the Phoenix metropolitan area and communities throughout Arizona, with nationwide onsite training available by arrangement. CPR Plus+ has trained individuals, healthcare teams, businesses, schools, community organizations and professional sports organizations associated with the NHL, NBA, WNBA and MLB.
