Real-World Training for Real-Life Emergencies.

CPR-Life Services is built on unparalleled real-world experience. Founded and led by Brendan Tran, a highly decorated U.S. Navy veteran with over 13 years of front-line service as a Hospital Corpsman, EMT/Paramedic, Emergency Management Director, and Tactical Casualty Care Instructor, we bring profound, practical knowledge to every class. Brendan has managed complex medical operations, responded decisively to critical incidents, including mass casualty events where his actions ensured zero loss of life, and trained thousands of military personnel and first responders for high-threat environments. This deep expertise ensures you receive practical, effective, and potentially life-saving skills grounded in proven best practices, not just textbook theory. We are committed to empowering you with the confidence to act when it counts.
