Software for independent CPR instructors
JoinCPR gives independent CPR instructors a booking site, online payments and the paperwork after class in one place. Students book and pay online, the money goes straight to your own Stripe or Square account, and reminders, rosters and renewal emails run themselves, for a flat $59 a month.
15-day free trial. No credit card required.
Stop running classes from texts, spreadsheets and paper
Many instructors start out with a social media post, a spreadsheet of names, payment requests and a paper sign-in sheet. It works for a few classes, then the admin starts to take more time than the teaching.
JoinCPR replaces the patchwork with one system built around CPR classes. Students find your classes, register and pay on their own, and everything that happens after class, from the roster to the renewal reminder two years later, is a click or happens automatically.
You keep teaching the way you do now. JoinCPR takes over the booking, the payments and the records.

Everything you need from your first class
Every feature is in the one plan from day one, so you don’t outgrow a starter tier as you add classes, students or a second instructor.
-
Students register and pay on your booking site in a few steps, on a phone or a computer. One person can book a whole group, and your questions and waivers are part of checkout.
-
Card payments go straight into your own Stripe or Square account. Refunds and branded receipts are handled from the roster.
-
Record pass, fail or no-show, print a sign-in sheet, and export the roster in AHA or Red Cross format.
-
Passing a student records their certification with the right expiry date, and a renewal email goes out before it expires.
-
Confirmations, class reminders and follow-ups go out on their own, and text reminders are included at no extra cost.
-
Schedule one-day, multi-day and recurring classes from a ready-made AHA, Red Cross, HSI, NSC and ECSI course library.
Get found by students near you
Your booking site is built to show up when people nearby search for a class. Every course gets a permanent page titled like “BLS Classes in Chicago, IL”, and every class is marked up so Google can list it as an event.
Put the site on a free yourname.joincpr.com address or on your own domain, such as classes.yourdomain.com, with free SSL either way. Already have a website? Embed your schedule on it with a few lines of code, and link to your booking site from your Google Business Profile and social pages.
Companies looking for on-site training can send you a request from the same site. See the booking website with built-in SEO.
Keep what you earn
JoinCPR costs $59 a month however many students you teach. There are no per-student or per-registration fees, no setup fee, and no cut of the money your students pay you.
| Students a month | Your class takings | JoinCPR | Share of takings | Per student |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | $1,500 | $59 | 3.9% | $2.95 |
| 50 | $3,750 | $59 | 1.6% | $1.18 |
| 100 | $7,500 | $59 | 0.8% | $0.59 |
The more you teach, the less JoinCPR costs per student: $2.95 each at 20 students a month, $0.59 at 100. Card processing is charged by Stripe or Square at their standard rates, exactly as if you used them on their own, and JoinCPR adds nothing to your students’ total.
SMS reminders are included too, so there’s no texting bill on top. See JoinCPR pricing for everything the plan includes.
Take on corporate clients when you’re ready
Workplace training can be steady, repeat income for an independent instructor, and JoinCPR has the tools for it built in, ready when your first company calls.
Companies can ask for a quote through a group training request page on your booking site. One click turns a request into a client and a private class, and employees register through a private link that never appears on your public schedule. Each company can get its own client portal to register staff and download training records.
Corporate bookings are saved as unpaid, so you bill the company your usual way and mark the seats paid. See corporate and group training.
Set up in an afternoon
You can go from sign-up to a class that takes registrations in an afternoon. A setup checklist in the dashboard walks you through each step.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need my own website to use JoinCPR?
No. Your booking site on a free yourname.joincpr.com address works on its own, with your schedule, course pages, checkout and a group training request page. If you do have a website, link to your booking site or embed your schedule on it.
What if I don’t have a Stripe or Square account yet?
You can start without one. Students register with Register (Pay Later) and you mark them paid when they pay you. When you’re ready, create a Stripe or Square account and connect it from Settings in a few minutes.
Can I teach AHA and Red Cross courses from one account?
Yes. One account schedules and sells courses from every certifying body in the library (AHA, American Red Cross, HSI, NSC and ECSI) side by side, plus courses you create yourself. Each course keeps its own expiry rule, and any class can export an AHA or a Red Cross roster.
Is JoinCPR worth it if I only teach a few classes a month?
It depends on your volume. At $59 a month, JoinCPR works out to $2.95 per student at 20 students a month and $1.18 at 50. If you teach only a handful of students a month, software that charges per registration can cost less, so compare at your own numbers on the pricing page. The free trial lets you run a real class on it before you decide.
