Who founded instinct ready?
Instinct Ready was founded originally by Jason Perez an EMT and BLS instructor in March 2018 under the name Instinct Medical Education. At that time the only service offered was CPR and First Aid training. In the spring of 2019 Jason partnered with his friend Wesley Long an EMT and Emergency Dispatcher who had been teaching disaster preparedness classes for 4 years under his own brand “Go-bag Wesley.” They worked to combine their two specialities into one inclusive brand. Then in July 2019 Instinct Ready Incorporated was founded along with a new team member, Cassandra Korndorffer, who became the team’s financial specialist.

Which CPR / First Aid class should I take?
The American Heart CPR and First Aid classes are broken into two levels, healthcare provider and lay rescuer. If you are a healthcare worker such as a doctor, nurse, EMT, paramedic, dental assistant, or other healthcare worker that is required to have a CPR certification then you most likely need Basic Life Support (BLS).
For lay rescuers the AHA Heartsaver classes are recommended. This certification is good for other non-healthcare individuals. The Heartsaver classes also provide a provider card which may be accepted by some employers in fields such as childcare, lifeguard, security guard, and others.
If you require a CPR certification for employment we always recommend checking with your employer first before choosing a class.
