What CPR123 does

CPR123, Inc. is a privately-held American Heart Association Authorized Training Center founded in 2007 and headquartered in Mineola, New York. The company delivers state-of-the-art AHA certification courses — BLS, ACLS, PALS, NRP, Heartsaver CPR/AED/First Aid, Peripheral IV Insertion, Basic EKG, Trauma Nursing Core Course, and N95 Fit Testing — across classroom, online (including the AHA RQI e-simulation program and HeartCode adaptive learning paths), and on-site corporate formats. It operates five owned training academies across New York (Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens/Forest Hills, Mineola, Huntington) and one in San Antonio, Texas, with additional NJ expansion announced, and maintains supplementary online enrollment through the Enrollware platform plus phone-based registration seven days a week.

The business operates a multi-stream revenue model. Per-course fees (pay-as-you-go unit pricing, individual course registrations) and annual subscription bundles (Gold at up to $880/yr in NY including BLS/ACLS/PALS/IV Therapy; Silver; Rose renewal tier) serve individual healthcare professionals and the general public. Recurring AED managed-services contracts (Premier Readiness Program, Maintenance Program Bundle) generate subscription revenue from organizations needing inspections, supply replenishment, medical direction, and compliance support. On-site corporate training for groups of 5+ employees, hospital and school discount partnerships with 25+ named institutions (Mount Sinai, NYU Langone, Hofstra, Pace, NYC Health + Hospitals system, UT Health Science Center), and gift card promotional programs round out the commercial surface.

Customer segments split between (a) credentialed healthcare professionals (nurses, physicians, paramedics, EMTs, nursing/PA/EMT students) needing BLS/ACLS/PALS/NRP for employment and licensure, and (b) non-healthcare individuals (daycare workers, teachers, security, fitness trainers, coaches, parents) seeking Heartsaver and First Aid certifications. The company also targets enterprise and institutional buyers via on-site training and AED program management. The firm is bootstrapped, family/founder-controlled, Woman-Owned Business certified, and holds a small management team (Founder Sam Younessian, Co-Founder Maria Younessian, VP Annie Chen, Marketing Director Renee Charlot) plus a bench of FDNY-experienced instructors.

Direct peers

• American Red Cross Training Services: Largest U.S. provider of CPR, BLS, ACLS, PALS, AED and First Aid training for both healthcare professionals and the lay public. Red Cross is the most direct competitor to CPR123 across classroom, online, and on-site delivery formats and the dominant alternative AHA-issued counterpart.
• ProTrainings: Online-first provider of CPR, BLS, ACLS, PALS, AED, and First Aid certifications with blended skills-testing options. Directly competes with CPR123's online product line and pressure-tests its HeartCode/RQI pricing.
• National CPR Foundation: Online-only provider of CPR/AED/First Aid/ACLS/PALS certification cards competing aggressively on price against AHA-authorized training centers like CPR123. Represents the low-cost alternative explicitly contrasted with CPR123's value proposition.
• ACLS Medical Training: Online-first ACLS, BLS, PALS, and CPR certification provider for healthcare professionals. Directly comparable to CPR123's blended online-plus-skills-testing model and competes for the same price-sensitive clinician segment.
• Code One CPR Training: Multi-location AHA Authorized Training Center operator delivering BLS, ACLS, PALS, and Heartsaver courses across the U.S. with classroom, on-site, and skills-testing options. Closest operational analog to CPR123's owned-center, multi-state model.
