American Heart Association CPR Classes in Portland
If you are looking for CPR classes in Portland, Med+Outreach CPR offers several options depending on what you need.
Some students need CPR certification for a job. Others need CPR recertification before their card expires. Some are taking CPR for the first time because they want to be prepared to respond in an emergency.
We help students complete CPR training in a way that is practical, straightforward, and easy to understand.
Our Portland CPR classes may be a good fit if you need training for:
• Work requirements
• School or clinical requirements
• Healthcare or caregiving roles
• Childcare or babysitting
• Workplace safety
• Personal emergency preparedness
• CPR recertification
• First Aid CPR AED certification
During class, students learn how to recognize emergencies, respond appropriately, practice hands-on skills, and build confidence using CPR and emergency response techniques.
CPR Certification and CPR Recertification in Portland
Med+Outreach CPR provides CPR certification and CPR recertification courses in Portland for students who need an American Heart Association course completion card.
Most CPR-related certifications are valid for two years, which means many students return to us when they need to renew before their card expires.
We work with both first-time students and returning students who need to renew their certification.
If This Is Your First CPR Class
We will walk you through the course, explain the skills clearly, and give you hands-on practice so you understand what to do in an emergency.
If You Need CPR Recertification
You can choose the course that matches your requirement, reserve your seat online, and complete the training needed to renew your certification.
Because requirements can vary by employer, school, licensing board, or organization, students should confirm which course they need before registering.
Group specific courses in Portland are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to meet the challenges of shift rotations and complex scheduling needs.

Choose the CPR Class Format That Fits Your Schedule
Med+Outreach CPR offers multiple class formats so students can choose the option that works best for their schedule and requirements.
Instructor-Led Classroom Training
This is the traditional in-person class format. Students attend the full course at our Portland training location. An instructor leads the course, teaches the material, shows the required videos, answers questions, and checks students off on their hands-on skills.
Blended Online and In-Person Skills Training
This format allows students to complete part of the course online at home, then come in for a shorter in-person skills session. This is often a good fit for students who want more flexibility or who prefer to complete the classroom portion online.
Skills Sessions
Skills sessions are for students who have already completed the required online portion and only need to complete the in-person hands-on skills checkoff.
If you are unsure which format you need, review the course details or contact us before booking.
On-Site CPR Classes in Portland
Med+Outreach CPR provides on-site CPR classes in Portland for businesses, schools, care facilities, construction companies, healthcare groups, and organizations that need multiple people trained at the same time.
Instead of sending your employees to separate public classes, our team can come to your location with the instructors, equipment, and training materials needed to complete the CPR course.
On-site CPR training can be a convenient option if your team needs CPR certification for work, compliance, safety requirements, licensing, school requirements, or general emergency preparedness.
On-Site CPR Certification for Your Team
If your employees need CPR certification for the first time, we can provide group training at your workplace or facility.
Our instructors help students understand what to do in an emergency, practice hands-on CPR skills, and complete the course requirements in a clear, supportive environment.
On-site CPR certification may be a good fit for:
- Construction companies
- Industrial teams
- Care homes
- Home care agencies
- Schools
- Childcare organizations
- Healthcare offices
- Nursing student groups
- Fitness facilities
- Offices and workplaces
- Organizations with multiple employees who need CPR training
On-Site CPR Recertification in Portland
If your team members already have CPR certification but need to renew, Med+Outreach CPR can also provide on-site CPR recertification training in Portland.
Many CPR certifications are valid for two years, which means businesses and organizations often need recurring training to keep employees current.
On-site CPR recertification can make the renewal process easier by allowing your team to complete training together, without requiring each person to schedule a separate class.
How On-Site CPR Training Works

Why Businesses Choose On-Site CPR Classes
On-site CPR classes can help businesses save time, simplify scheduling, and make sure employees receive consistent training together.
This can be especially helpful for teams with shift schedules, multiple employees, compliance requirements, or staff members who need certification before a specific deadline.
