About Dockside CPR

confidence isn't given It is Trained

When an emergency strikes, you don’t want to feel helpless. At Dockside CPR, we build more than certifications — we build calm, capable confidence under pressure. Led by a licensed nurse and USCG captain, our mobile classes prepare you for real-life scenarios, not just textbook steps. You’ll train for what to do when someone collapses dockside, seizes at a barbecue, or gasps near water — because when seconds count, you can’t afford to freeze. This isn’t CPR for a card. It’s CPR for real life.

Lifesaving confidence

Don’t wait until an emergency to wonder if you’d know what to do.
