About Us

About Us: A Mission Rooted in Service

Expert Training from the Heart of Memphis

At CPR & BLS Certification, we believe that life-saving skills  are a way to show up for the community when it matters most.

Our founder Shaquinta's journey is a bit different than most. While her background includes a Bachelor’s in Social Work (BSW), a Master of Business Administration (MBA), and a Master’s in Human Resources (MSHR), she felt a calling to step outside the office and into the streets. Serving the community as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and a STOP THE BLEED® Ambassador, allows her to be serve people in our community their most vulnerable moments. In this role, she acts as a passionate advocate for bleeding control awareness, dedicated to empowering others with the life-saving skills needed to act in an emergency. 

That same spirit of service is the heartbeat of our team and training site. We aren't just instructors; we are advocates for your success. We are approachable and ready to discuss your needs as an individual or group.
