Frequently Asked Questions
About the Classes
Q: Where can I get CPR certified near West Linn or Oregon City?
A: Just in Time Training is located at 2808 Mark Ln in West Linn, Oregon, and serves students from across the greater Portland metro area — including Portland proper, West Linn, Gladstone, Beaverton, Canby, Clackamas, Wilsonville, Oregon City, Lake Oswego, Tualatin, Tigard, Milwaukie, Happy Valley, and beyond. Many students travel from Portland and even Salem and Vancouver, WA specifically for the quality of instruction.
Q: How long does a CPR certification class take?
A: Class length varies by course. A Heartsaver CPR/AED class typically runs 2–3 hours. BLS provider courses for healthcare workers usually take 3–4.5 hours. Jennifer and her team keep classes efficient and focused — students consistently note that the time flies by.

Q: How many students are in each class?
A: Classes are intentionally kept small — typically no more than 10 students. This means you get hands-on practice time and personal attention from your instructor, not just passive video watching. Many students describe it as feeling like private training.
Q: Where are classes held?
A: Classes are held at our training facility in West Linn, Oregon. The space is clean, comfortable, and easy to find with street parking available. The private setting creates a relaxed, low-pressure environment that many students prefer over large commercial training centers.
About the Instructors
Q: Who teaches the CPR classes?
A: All classes are taught by Jennifer and her team of certified instructors. Jennifer is a former paramedic with extensive real-world emergency response experience. This background means the classes don’t just teach the textbook — they cover how and why techniques work in actual emergencies. Students find this invaluable.
Q: Is Just in Time Training an American Heart Association certified training site?
A: Yes. Just in Time Training is an authorized AHA training site. Certifications issued are official AHA credentials recognized by employers, hospitals, clinics, schools, and licensing boards throughout Oregon and nationally.
Q: Why do people drive from Portland, Salem, AND Vancouver to take classes in West Linn?
A: Students consistently say Jennifer’s paramedic background, small class sizes, and teaching style set this training apart from larger commercial centers. Rather than feeling like you’re getting through a checklist, students leave feeling genuinely confident and prepared. That reputation attracts students from across the entire Portland metro region and translates to saving more lives.
Certification & Renewal
Q: How long is a CPR certification valid?
A: AHA CPR/AED/First Aid and BLS certifications are valid for two years. Jennifer will remind you when your renewal is coming up so you don’t let your certification lapse — especially important for healthcare workers with compliance requirements.
Q: I’m a healthcare provider. Do you offer BLS renewal?
A: Yes. BLS Provider renewal for nurses, medical assistants, EMTs, dental hygienists, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals is one of the most common courses at Just in Time Training. The small class size means your renewal is efficient and thorough.
Q: Can I get my certification card the same day?
A: Yes. AHA eCards are issued promptly after successful completion of your course. Most students receive their digital certification card the same day or within 24 hours.
