Gulf Coast Emergency Response Training

Taking classes with us...

American Heart Association Training Site offering certification classes to individuals and businesses in CPR, First Aid, BLS for Healthcare Provider CPR, Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Pediatric Advanced Life Support and Pediatric CPR / First Aid to the greater Galveston area. We also have a fantastic group of instructors that are located throughout the state and who are experienced healthcare providers. These instructors are able to provide training at your facility, business or organization. Call us at 409-497-2587 to arrange on site training.

Our customers are very important to us and their health and safety remains a top priority for us. We are choosing not to cancel classes because most of our students require course completion to work.

We are taking steps to go above and beyond our normal cleaning procedures to keep our students safe. Our classroom and equipment is routinely disinfected before and after all classes and skills sessions. We are responding to concerns about virus transmission by moving the seating positions in the classroom to give our students more physical space during class. Hand sanitizer, masks and disposable gloves up to size large will be made available in the classroom as well. You are welcome to bring your own CPR mask and pens to class.

Students are required to work in pairs for some skills sections and for that reason and to attempt to prevent transmission of any illness, any student that exhibits signs or symptoms of illness such as cold, flu or possible allergies will be asked to make alternative arrangements with us and will not be allowed to participate in our regularly scheduled class.

Which class do I need?

We know choosing the correct class can be confusing and we want to make sure you pick the right course for you. Your employer should be able to answer this for you if they require you to have a card. You may also call us and we will do our best to help you decide which class you need.
Here is a rule of thumb: Do you have a healthcare license or are you a student trying to obtain one? If yes, then you want BLS for healthcare providers.
Are you taking the class because you are a daycare worker, foster or adoptive parent? If yes, then you want Pediatric CPR & First Aid.
Does your employer require you to have CPR but you are not a healthcare provider such as EMT, Paramedic, or RN? If you do not have a medical license, then you would want to take CPR & AED.
Lastly, if your job requires you to be subject to US Coast Guard regulations (such as a boat captain), then you want CPR, AED and First Aid.

Some Feedback

What people are saying

"This is the first time I have written an online review. But I was so overwhelmed by the caliber of this business that I felt compelled to share my experience. I am a nurse and needed my BLS/CPR for HCP's updated and that is one of the services offered here. I have been through this same class (in different cities) 4 times over the last several years and each time I left thinking "If a situation arises where someone needs CPR, I won't do it".. I thought this because after the classes I still didn't feel like I was competent to perform CPR. That changed recently when I went in for a CPR skills session at Gulf Coast Emergency Response Training. First off, the owner, Tammy, scheduled me within a day of my contacting them and she performed my skills session one-on-one herself. She taught me things that I never was taught in all the previous CPR classes. The price was unbelievably low - $25. And what about the equipment! Brand new, CLEAN, mannequins that were electronic and had little lights on the shoulders. If you were performing the chest compressions correctly, you would get 3 green lights... if you were not, they were red. They also had AED's (defibrillators) that were just like the real thing. Previous classes I had taken didn't even have AED's, and the mannequins were dirty and scary looking. Bottom line is this: Because of the outstanding training I got from this place and Tammy in particular, I now feel competent to give CPR when the need arises, on adults, children, and even infants! And that is the whole goal of being CPR certified.”
