Two Ways to Get Certified in Augusta, GA
Every Pulse CPR School student earns the same official certification — you just choose the format that fits your family’s schedule.
Option 1: In-Class Babysitter Boot Camp (One Day, Done)
This is our traditional, live, instructor-led classroom course — everything happens in a single day at our Martinez, GA location. There’s no homework, no pre-work, and no follow-up session. Teens arrive in the morning and leave fully trained, CPR-practiced, and certified.
Best for: families who want one simple day with nothing else to schedule, and teens who learn best with live, hands-on group instruction.
Option 2: Virtual Babysitter Boot Camp + Skills Check-Off
Teens complete all lecture content and written testing online, at their own pace, on any device. Once finished, they attend one focused 3-hour in-person skills session at our Martinez location to demonstrate CPR, choking relief, and emergency response hands-on with a certified instructor.
- Online course: $24
- In-person skills check-off session (3 hours): $89
- Held at: 110 Davis Rd #18, Martinez, GA
Best for: busy teens balancing school, sports, or after-school jobs who want flexibility without giving up live, hands-on CPR practice.
