Before your appointment, take a look inside the training office:
What Can You Complete at Citywide CPR’s East Town Milwaukee Location?
The East Town location provides American Heart Association BLS, ACLS and PALS Self-Guided Skills Sessions.
The process is straightforward:
- Complete the applicable AHA online course.
- Schedule your in-person Self-Guided Skills Session.
- Visit the Milwaukee East Town training location.
- Practice and perform the required hands-on skills using a CPR Verification Station™ learning center with real-time feedback.
- Successfully complete the course and skills requirements.
Self-Guided Learning combines self-paced cognitive learning with the required hands-on skills component. Citywide CPR’s current Self-Guided training information describes BLS, ACLS and PALS as online learning followed by a Self-Guided Skills Session at a CPR Verification Station™ learning center.
This can be particularly useful for healthcare professionals, medical and nursing students, dental professionals and employees whose certification dates or work schedules don’t line up with a traditional group class.

Three Ways to Train Your Milwaukee Staff
One organization may have employees with several different training needs. Instead of assuming everyone should use the same format, employers can consider three approaches.
Option 1 — Send Employees to the Milwaukee Training Location
For individual employees, sending staff members to a participating Citywide CPR location can be a convenient alternative to organizing an entire group class.
At East Town, eligible learners can schedule Self-Guided Skills Sessions for:
- BLS
- ACLS
- PALS
This approach can work well when employees have different certification expiration dates, work different shifts or simply cannot attend the same group training event.
It can also be useful for healthcare professionals, medical and nursing students, dental office staff and other eligible learners who need an individual certification or renewal appointment.

Option 2 — Instructor-Led Onsite CPR, AED & First Aid Training
Some employers prefer to have employees train together at the workplace.
Citywide CPR can coordinate instructor-led onsite group training for qualifying Milwaukee-area organizations. This format brings an instructor to the workplace or another arranged group-training setting, depending on the course and scheduling requirements.
Potential training arrangements may include:
Healthcare organizations
- BLS
- ACLS and PALS arrangements, where available
Non-healthcare organizations
- CPR and AED
- First Aid CPR AED
- Appropriate adult, child and infant CPR instruction based on course requirements
This can be useful for hospitals, medical offices, dental practices, schools, daycare centers, manufacturing and warehouse facilities, corporate offices, fitness centers and other organizations.
Instructor-led training can be especially practical when an employer wants employees to complete a group session together and receive guided hands-on instruction.
Request instructor-led onsite CPR training
For workplace groups specifically looking for CPR, AED and First Aid training, employers can also request CPR, AED & First Aid staff training.
Option 3 — Portable RQI-P GO Skills Verification
Healthcare organizations may have another option when sending an entire team to an outside training location is difficult.
For qualifying healthcare programs, Citywide CPR can coordinate portable RQI-P GO skills verification at the organization’s facility.
Eligible employees complete their applicable online coursework and then practice and perform their required BLS, ACLS or PALS hands-on skills using the portable setup and real-time feedback.
This can be useful for:
- Hospitals
- Healthcare organizations
- Medical practices
- Dental groups
- Nursing departments
- Employees working different shifts
- Organizations coordinating multiple certification renewals
RQI-P GO is different from a traditional instructor-led classroom course. It is a portable skills training and verification solution for eligible healthcare programs.

From Healthcare Certification to Workplace CPR & First Aid — Citywide CPR Can Help
CPR training isn’t limited to healthcare-provider certification.
Different employees can have different requirements, and choosing the appropriate course is an important part of organizing staff training.
Healthcare Professionals
Healthcare professionals may need BLS, ACLS or PALS depending on their role and the requirements of their employer, school, clinical program or organization.
Citywide CPR provides applicable certification and renewal options through available training formats.
Non-Healthcare Employees
Employees outside the healthcare-provider pathway may need CPR, AED and First Aid training through an appropriate Heartsaver program.
This can apply to offices, businesses, schools, childcare organizations and other workplaces.
Request CPR, AED & First Aid training for your staff
Employers
Employers can use different approaches for different employees. One group might complete instructor-led training at the workplace, while eligible healthcare employees use RQI-P GO or individual Self-Guided Skills Sessions.
Not every course is available through every format, so organizations should identify their employees’ requirements before choosing a training arrangement.
Individuals
Individuals who need AHA certification or renewal can explore available Self-Guided or instructor-led options based on the course they need and the location they select.
CPR Training in Milwaukee and Milwaukee County
The East Town Milwaukee office is the featured Citywide CPR location for this article and provides a convenient option for individual Self-Guided BLS, ACLS and PALS Skills Sessions.
The broader Milwaukee-area service discussion can also include communities such as Downtown Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, West Allis, Shorewood, Glendale, Greenfield and Oak Creek.
That does not mean Citywide CPR operates a physical training station in each community. Individual Self-Guided Skills Sessions take place at participating Citywide CPR locations, while onsite group training and portable RQI-P GO arrangements may be coordinated separately for qualifying organizations.
Citywide CPR’s current Wisconsin location directory lists Milwaukee and West Milwaukee locations and allows learners to select a location and view available training options.
Which Milwaukee CPR Training Option Is Right for Your Team?
| Training Option | Best For | Where Training Takes Place |
| Self-Guided Skills Sessions | Individual healthcare professionals, students and employees | Participating Citywide CPR location |
| Instructor-Led Onsite Training | Healthcare and non-healthcare organizations wanting group instruction | Employer’s workplace or arranged group venue |
| Portable RQI-P GO | Eligible healthcare organizations needing BLS, ACLS or PALS skills verification | Qualifying healthcare facility |
An employer can also use more than one approach.
For example, a Milwaukee healthcare organization might send individual employees to the East Town location when their certification dates vary, while requesting portable skills verification for a larger group. A daycare or school may instead request instructor-led CPR and First Aid training appropriate to its staff and training requirements.
The goal is to match the training method to the organization’s actual needs.
Why Visit a Citywide CPR Training Location?
For employees who need individual certification or renewal, a Self-Guided Skills Session can eliminate the need to coordinate an entire department around one class time.
Participants complete the applicable online learning before their appointment and then complete the required hands-on portion at a CPR Verification Station™ learning center.
The station uses approved training equipment with real-time feedback during hands-on practice and testing.
This model can be useful when work schedules, school schedules and certification expiration dates vary.
The East Town office tour above also gives participants an opportunity to see the training environment before their appointment.
Can Citywide CPR Come to Our Milwaukee Workplace?
Yes, qualifying organizations can request onsite training arrangements.
The appropriate option depends on what employees need.
Instructor-led onsite training may be appropriate when an organization wants a traditional group training experience involving an instructor.
Portable RQI-P GO skills verification may be appropriate for qualifying healthcare organizations whose employees need applicable BLS, ACLS or PALS hands-on skills verification.
Organizations should provide their approximate employee count, course requirements, facility location and scheduling needs when submitting a request.

What About CPR, AED and First Aid for Milwaukee Employees?
Not every employee needs healthcare-provider BLS, ACLS or PALS.
Businesses, schools, childcare organizations and other employers may instead need an appropriate CPR, AED or First Aid program.
Citywide CPR can coordinate workplace CPR and First Aid training based on the organization’s requirements.
For organizations that need infant or child CPR, make that requirement clear when requesting training. The specific course and training arrangement should be selected based on the skills the organization needs rather than assuming every Self-Guided or portable option includes the same pediatric content.
