How to Host a Group CPR Training at Work (with In-Pulse CPR)

Emergencies don’t give advance notice — and when one happens in the workplace, being ready can make all the difference. Having a team trained, confident, and able to act immediately improves the chances of the best possible outcome. At In-Pulse CPR, we help businesses throughout Tampa Bay and Central Florida bring on-site group CPR training to their teams — making it easy, effective, and built around your schedule.


Why schedule group CPR training at your workplace?

Workplaces are community hubs, and they shouldn’t just be production sites — they should be safe places where people feel looked after. Here are some of the key reasons to bring group CPR training into your company:

  • Rapid response matters. When someone collapses or goes into cardiac arrest, each passing second counts. A trained coworker can start CPR or use an AED before EMS arrives.
  • It shows you care. Offering training demonstrates to your staff that their safety is a priority — boosting morale and engagement.
  • It strengthens your safety culture. CPR training is a tangible step toward a more prepared, resilient workplace.
  • Compliance and readiness. Depending on your industry and location you may have regulatory expectations (OSHA, etc.). Having a trained team helps you meet them and go beyond.
  • Local relevance. Whether you’re in an office, clinic, fitness center, or manufacturing site around Tampa, Brandon, Clearwater, or St. Petersburg, In-Pulse CPR provides tailored, professional training at your location.

How to organize the training — step by step

Here’s how you can set up an effective group CPR session with In-Pulse CPR in just a few clear steps.

1. Define your group and scope

Decide which teams will participate — e.g., production, maintenance, administrative staff, managers. How many participants? A typical class size ensures each person gets hands-on practice, so plan for an appropriate instructor-to-student ratio.

2. Pick date, time, and location

On-site training is often easiest: we bring the certified instructor and equipment to your facility. Choose a location with enough space for practical exercises (manikins, AED simulators). Consider shift schedules or staggered sessions to minimize downtime.

3. Select the right course level

In-Pulse CPR offers several course options to meet your workplace’s needs:

  • CPR & AED Training — Core lifesaving skills for adult, child, and infant emergencies.
  • First Aid + CPR + AED Combo — Ideal for safety teams and supervisors who may face a range of emergencies.
  • Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) Training — Teaches employees how to protect themselves and others from exposure to blood or potentially infectious materials in the workplace, a crucial addition for healthcare, fitness, and custodial settings.
  • Healthcare BLS Certification — Designed for medical and clinical professionals requiring American Heart Association BLS certification.

Our certified instructors will help you choose the right mix for your team’s environment and compliance requirements.

4. Prepare the space and logistics

Ensure the training room has sufficient space, seating for the presentation, and a floor area for hands-on practice. We bring all required equipment — you just provide the room. If you have your own AEDs, we can incorporate them into the session.

5. Inform and engage the participants

Send an invitation ahead of time with details: what to wear (comfortable clothing), what to expect, and how long the session lasts. Encourage participants to come ready to engage. Training works best when everyone participates.

6. Conduct the session

Our certified instructor covers the core material (recognizing cardiac arrest, calling for help, CPR technique, AED use, and bloodborne pathogen safety). Participants practice real-world scenarios to ensure confidence and readiness.

7. Follow up after training

After the session, each participant receives a nationally recognized certification (valid for two years). We’ll help you plan for renewals, refresher sessions, and recordkeeping — plus offer guidance on maintaining AED readiness and safety drills.


What your team will learn

During training, participants gain confidence and real-world skills, including:

  • Recognizing signs of cardiac arrest and acting fast
  • Performing high-quality CPR with correct depth and rhythm
  • Using an AED effectively and safely
  • Administering basic first aid
  • Preventing exposure to bloodborne pathogens and following OSHA standards for safety
  • Integrating safety and emergency response into daily workplace culture
