CPR Instructors face unique challenges: Roster cards and course-completion eCards have to be issued through the AHA Atlas or Red Cross portal within a tight window or students' certifications stall. Group sizes shift the night before, so manikin-to-student ratios (and how many helper hands you bring) keep changing. Daycares, gyms, and contractors all want a signed certificate and the instructor's training-center ID on file before they'll let staff work. Recert reminders fall through the cracks because cards expire on a two-year clock and nobody tracks who's due. On top of all that, HoneyBook charges $39/month ($468/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median CPR Instructor earns $42,000/year. Software at $468/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your adult and infant CPR manikins with feedback clickers is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.

You load the SUV before sunrise: a stack of adult manikins, a couple of infant ones, the AED trainers, and a tote of lung bags and wipes. First class is a daycare staff at 8, so you set the room up in a circle, lay the manikins out, and clip the rate metronome to your belt. You demo the head-tilt chin-lift, count compressions out loud, then walk twelve nervous aides through hands-only and full CPR while watching their hand placement and depth. Halfway through you swap lung bags because a student blew too hard. Skills check is one-on-one: each person gets the manikin and the AED trainer, and you sign their skills sheet. By noon you're wiping down two dozen faces with sani-wipes and counting heads against the sign-in roster so the eCards match. Afternoon is a private two-person class for a couple adopting an infant. Back home, you log into the AHA Atlas to issue completion cards, email the daycare director the roster, and check who's coming up on a two-year recert so you can nudge them. The manikins air out overnight; tomorrow's a construction crew.
