Lifesaving skills for every individual and business
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.
“No one should feel helpless when seconds count.”
Linda's vision was simple. Whether it's a car crash, a workplace emergency, or a child in distress — knowing what to do can save a life. More than 30 years later, we're still delivering the best CPR and First Aid training available.
