CPR, AED, and Safety Education

What CPR, AED, and Safety Education does

CPR, AED, and Safety Education is a privately held, for-profit training company headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland, that has been in continuous operation since 1992. Per its firmographic profile, the company delivers CPR, AED, and first-aid instruction to two end-user segments: credentialed healthcare professionals who require recertification, and layperson responders (workplace safety teams, community members, childcare staff, and similar groups) who need basic life-safety training. The business is founder-led under Judy Carver, with a headcount stated at 11-50 employees, and operates from a single website (cpraedandsafety.com) with no disclosed mobile app, no public API, and no documented digital product surface.

The core product is in-person instructor-led training and the associated certification cards, a service category that is functionally commoditized and regulated by external bodies (AHA, ARC, OSHA-aligned curricula). The company does not publish pricing, does not disclose named customers or enterprise contracts, and does not list channel partners or reseller relationships in the source data. Revenue mechanics are therefore inferred to be fee-for-service per class seat or per on-site contract, with no evidence of subscription, licensing, or marketplace revenue. The company has no disclosed subsidiaries, parent entity, funding rounds, M&A history, or leadership changes beyond the founder.

Given the absence of disclosed technology, integrations, or digital product lines, the operating model is best characterized as a local/regional services business competing primarily on instructor availability, scheduling flexibility, and brand familiarity rather than on proprietary technology or scale economics. The single-site, founder-dependent structure with no disclosed succession plan or institutional capital is a material consideration for any PE/VC/M&A audience evaluating the asset.
