Our Services

Foster Parents:

It has come to our attention that an email was sent to all foster parents that has caused a misunderstanding. Keep the Beat is STILL teaching and will STILL offer classes to foster families in western Washington. The only thing that has changed is that we are no longer under a contract with the state for the classes. This means families need to pay for their own training now and ask their agencies to reimburse them for the cost.

We know that classes can be extremely expensive with many companies. Because of this Keep the Beat wishes to help families and we will be keeping our costs at the same (half price) that we were charging the state in the past for your training. We will do a flat rate price for 1-10 students and if your group is larger than 10 people, we will charge a discount per-person for each additional person. We will come to your location and work with you on a date that fits your schedule to the best of our ability. This will start July 1, 2023. Please feel free to reach out to us for more information by email at keepthebeatwa@aol.com Our dates book quickly, so please contact us early to get the best class date options.

Keep in mind that our classes not only cover all topics needed by foster parents, but we also cover all topics needed in the workplace per L&I standards. So, our cards will cover not only your home life but your work as well. Cards are good for two years and follow the current guidelines for emergency bystander care.

It has been an honor and pleasure to work with foster parents for the past 17 years and we hope we can still be of assistance in the future. Thank you for all that you do to help the children in our communities that need you the most.

NON FOSTER CLIENTS:

* We teach your staff at your work place or facility.

* We teach days and times that are convenient to your schedule. That means, days, evenings, weekends that work for YOU.

* Our staff has excellent knowledge for job issues relating to construction contractors, Adult Family Homes/nursing homes, daycares, gyms/fitness centers, professional offices and manufacturiers.

* We meet OSHA/WISHA requirements.

* Our courses are taught using the most current standards in CPR.

Prices and student size:

There is no minimum number of students per class. If you have one person or one hundred people, we welcome all size groups. We charge "per person". The larger the group the smaller the per person price.

Payment for class is due at the class. You only pay for the students attending and if you need to cancel or post-pone the class for any reason we will be more then happy to work with you.

We never charge for "travel time"; if you book a class with us the ONLY fee you pay is for the students; not for our instructors driving to and from your class.

If you wish to "split" your class into more then one session there is no extra fee. Again, you only pay the fee for each student.

Keep the Beat offers classes that meet the state Labor & Industries WAC requirements for businesses in need of Emergency Medical Preparedness Classes. Keep the Beat has taken many years of experence to create a detailed course using the most current standard.

All staff and instructors at Keep the Beat have an excellent background in the Emergency Medical Services field and understand the needs in the home and workplace that concern us all.

Please note: Our company does not offer online courses

AHA allows online classes; however at this time our company requires physical attendance in class with evaluation by a certified instructor. Thank you for your understanding.
