Peter Asencio is a Firefighter/Paramedic with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue. He is certified as an American Heart Association BLS Instructor and Heartsaver Instructor, and holds an Associate Degree in Emergency Medical Services (EMS).

Every class draws on his experience responding to real emergencies, so students learn not only the steps, but why they matter and how to stay calm and act when it counts.

Our AHA affiliation

An American Heart Association Training Site

Pulse CPR operates as a Training Site under an American Heart Association Training Center. Our courses follow current AHA guidelines and use official AHA course materials, and students who successfully complete a course receive an official AHA course completion eCard.

The American Heart Association strongly promotes knowledge and proficiency in all AHA courses and has developed instructional materials for this purpose. Use of these materials in an educational course does not represent course sponsorship by the AHA.
