Founder

Founded in 1991

34 years later, we’re still delivering the best CPR and First Aid training available.

Our Mission

The Beat Goes On CPR & First Aid Training Center was founded by Registered Nurse Linda Simpers to equip individuals and businesses with lifesaving skills. We believe everyone should feel confident and prepared in an emergency.

Why We Exist

Linda’s vision was simple: no one should feel helpless when seconds count. Whether it’s a car crash, workplace emergency, or child in distress — knowing what to do can save a life.
