Palmaffy CPR was created to make high-quality emergency training accessible, practical, and supportive. Our courses are designed to help students understand not only what to do, but why each action matters during an emergency.
We serve healthcare professionals, students, workplaces, schools, youth programs, families, and community organizations throughout San Jose and the South Bay. Training is built around hands-on practice, clear feedback, and a respectful learning environment where students can develop confidence before they are expected to perform independently.
Palmaffy CPR offers programs from nationally recognized training organizations, including the American Red Cross and Health & Safety Institute. Course availability varies, and students should confirm the provider required by their employer, school, or licensing organization before registering.
To prepare people and organizations to respond confidently, safely, and effectively when emergencies occur.
Emergency skills are learned through practice. Palmaffy CPR emphasizes correct technique, realistic decision-making, communication, and repeated hands-on performance rather than passive instruction alone.
