Our Office and Classroom

Our Office

Located in the Roosevelt Glen Corporate Center in the West Burbs of Chicago, our office has access to many expressways and major roads, making finding your way to our office easy.  We are located at the inteerssection of Roosevelt Road and Nicholl Way behind the CVS Pharmacy annd Panera Bread. Plenty of free parking surrounding our building allows easy access into our building.  With lots of shopping and dining opportunities in our area you will not be disappointed.

We offer nearly every class the American Heart Association has to offer. If there is a class you do not see, we will find a way to offer it to you.

Our building is accessible on the south side, with an elevator in the entryway and stairs to take to the second floor where you can find our classroom.

Our Classroom

Our spacious classroom accommodates up to 16 students. If you are interested in reserving an entire class for an event, we can accommodate more students with enough planning and notice. Absolute CPR provides enough equipment for each student to practice with, eliminating the need for taking turns and reducing the class time waiting for and watching others practice. This also helps prevent contact with other students and makes for a more hygienic environment for everybody.

Please be sure to wear comfortable clothes when attending a class that requires you to practice skills, especially CPR. Moving around, getting up and down, and performing CPR can be strenuous. Wearing something comfortable will be helpful. Depending on the time of the year, a light jacket can help keep you warm and allow you to take it off if you become too warm.

What people are saying…

  • As a martial artist and pistol instructor, I use Absolute CPR for my education and my employees’ training. As an instructor I see that Bill, Rob, and Cathy (and the other instructors) enjoy teaching and it shows.

    -- Jon V.

  • I need to renew my CPR every two years because I am a personal trainer. This was the chillest CPR class I have ever been to. I was impressed when Rob and Bill used words like body mechanics during their classs. It made the class a little more special for me, because that is my industry. Going to try to get my gym to have them teach CPR next time

    -- David N.

  • Catherine was our instructor today and we never thought we would be so pleased with a CPR instructor. Knowledgeable, polite, easy to talk to, she answered all of our questions and would not let us leave till we felt comfortable responding to a CPR emergency.

    -- Patty H.
