Rescue CPR offers classes in the San Antonio area. As of March 8 2010, their prices are $35.00. Class running time averages 1.5 hours, and is in a comfortable setting. There are classes each week, and they do provide group appointments if you have 5 more more people attending the CPR certification class. If you are an individual that waited til the last minute to get your certification then you can make a request for a same day class which can be done depending on availability.

Alamo Hills, Balcones Heights, Boerne, Terrell Hills, Castle Hills, Sisterdale, Comfort, Bandera, Medina, and Vanderpool.

Classes may vary from trainer to trainer, so it would be a good idea to get in touch with them well before taking the class, as well as making sure too much time has passed by in which you are required to have an updated certification. Often times classes fill fast, and getting a re-certification quickly can become a headache.
