Get Certified. Support Your Community
Earn your CPR/AED/First Aid certification and more while funding free community training for your community.
How It Works
Red Cross Certified
Nationally recognized CPR and First Aid certification that employers and institutions trust.
Local Instruction
Taught by authorized instructors from your community, for your community.
Community Funded
Every class you take helps fund free CPR training for neighbors who need it most.
Why This Matters
CPR and First Aid training saves lives. Yet, many people can't afford certification. By taking a class with us, you're not just getting trained, you're creating access for your neighbors.
More trained people in our community means more potential responders.
When someone collapses in a public space, a neighbor with CPR training can step in and save a life while waiting for 911. Every trained person increases the odds that someone survives.
CPR certification opens employment doors. Healthcare, childcare, education, security, and many other fields require this credential. Some of our neighbors need this training to get or keep a job, but can't afford the cost. We help to remove that barrier.
Access to life-saving skills shouldn't depend on income. By funding free community classes, we ensure more people in Western Washington can get trained, regardless of their ability to pay. That's what community resilience looks like.

How Blended Learning Works
Some of our Red Cross courses use a blended learning format part online, part in-person. Here's what to expect:
Step 1 - Register with us. Choose your class date and complete registration here. You'll receive a confirmation email with everything you need.
Step 2 - Complete your online portion. After registering, you will receive an email with a link to set up your Red Cross Learning Center account and access your online course. Complete this at your own pace before your scheduled class date. It takes between 30 minutes and 3.5 hours depending on the course and your results.
Step 3 - Attend your in-person skills session. Show up to your scheduled class ready to practice. You'll complete hands-on skills with manikins and training equipment. Your Red Cross certification is issued after successful completion.
⚠️ You must complete the online portion before attending your in-person session. Students who arrive without completing it may need to be rescheduled.

Free CPR Training for Our Community
Every neighbor deserves the chance to know what to do when it matters most. Through our Every Neighbor CPR program, KBT-ESF offers free monthly Adult and Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and AED classes to community members across the Pacific Northwest who would not otherwise have access to paid certification training. Classes are currently held once a month in Lewis County, Washington.
As we grow, we are committed to expanding our schedule and bringing free training to more communities across the Pacific Northwest. Classes are small by design, no more than 12 participants, so every person gets real hands-on instruction, not just a seat in a room. This training is for individuals. If you are looking to train a group or business team, please contact us directly at support@kbt-esf.org. Space is limited.
If the current class is full or the scheduled date does not work for you, please reach out to us at support@kbt-esf.org or (360) 937-4921 and we will do our best to find a solution.
We currently teach free CPR & first aid classes in Lewis County, WA. If you’d like free training brought to your community, contact us at Support@kbt-esf.org
Common Questions
What locations and dates are available?
We currently offer classes in Lewis County and are working toward expanding to additional counties in Western Washington.
Is this the same as Red Cross certification?
Yes. You'll receive the exact same Red Cross CPR and First Aid certification card. The difference is that your tuition supports our mission.
Can groups or businesses sign up together?
Absolutely. Organizations interested in bulk training for their teams should contact us directly.
Can businesses or groups get recognition for training together?
Yes. Any business or organization that signs its people up for classes receives a downloadable Community Partner Certificate, signed by KB Tenacious Emergency Support Foundation, after training is complete. The certificate shows your company name, class date, and the number of community members who received free training because of your investment.
Why We Teach Adult & Pediatric, not just adult?
Some CPR courses only teach you to save an adult. We don't think that's enough. Every class we offer covers adults, children, and infants, because emergencies don't get to choose who they happen to. A child choking at a family dinner. An infant in distress. A neighbor's grandchild. When that moment comes, we want you to be ready for all of it, not just some of it. If you're going to take the time to get certified, we believe you should leave knowing how to help anyone in front of you.
