Mission Statement 

Paramedical Personnel of Maryland’s primary mission is to save lives through high quality safety training for the medical professional and the general public, also, to train excellent instructors and to provide the necessary equipment and supplies to facilitate their effectiveness. Everything else is secondary.

Paramedical Personnel of Maryland (PPM) is the largest private safety-training center in the state of Maryland. The owner, Joe Becker, has been teaching CPR with the American Heart Association since 1975. When the American Heart Association introduced the training centers concept Mr. Becker started PPM. Paramedical Personnel of Maryland was incorporated in June 1990 and has continued to grow over the twenty plus years it has been in existence. 

Today PPM trains over 23,000 students each year in CPR and First Aid throughout the United States as well as abroad with a fully trained compliment of certified instructors. Our instructors train for the American Heart Association, National Safety Council, Health Safety Institute, and Emergency Orthopedic Surgeons. PPM has partnerships with several community colleges as well as state and local government agencies. Our involvement with the community includes teaching members of The Y, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts and church groups. 

In 2005 PPM started a full service storefront providing equipment for CPR/First Aid Instructors as well as uniforms and emergency equipment for fire departments. A recent addition to PPM is our Sewing Division. The Embellishment Department can personalize uniforms and accessories, T-shirts and outerwear. As a courtesy to our clients we can also sew on patches, hem pants and do basic alterations.
