About Sherry Beckham and Divine CPR Plus
Hello, my name is Sherry Beckham, and I am the proud owner and lead instructor here at Divine CPR Plus, home of Be Defined Training. With over 20 years of experience in the healthcare field and a deep passion for empowering others, I’m dedicated to teaching essential life-saving skills to individuals, families, and businesses.
Our journey began as Be Defined Training and Companion Care LLC, where we initially focused on providing both CPR training and caregiving services. As our mission evolved, we transitioned to Divine CPR Plus, with a singular focus on offering high-quality CPR, First Aid, and BLS training. This shift allowed us to dedicate our full attention to empowering individuals, families and businesses with the life-saving skills they need.
Teaching CPR started unexpectedly when my brother, an RN, asked me to help teach a class. Little did I know, this simple request would spark a passion that has grown ever since. My first class was a small group of six people, and as I observed their spirits lift when they learned these essential emergency response skills, I knew I had found something special. It reminded me of teaching my own children something important, like tying their shoes or riding a bike—how their faces lit up when they mastered a new skill. That same joy and sense of accomplishment were present in my students as they learned CPR.
As a Certified Medical Assistant by trade (2004), I’ve seen firsthand the impact of being prepared for emergencies. I’ve been teaching since 2022, and every class brings me joy and fulfillment. I’m committed to creating a positive, supportive learning environment where anyone—regardless of background or education—can learn how to save a life.
Sherry is also a Certified Community Healthcare Worker (2014) through the Ohio Board of Nursing. She is deeply committed to improving lives through education, preparedness, and support. She brings a unique blend of clinical knowledge, lived experience, and heartfelt service to every training and community engagement.
At Divine CPR Plus, we offer a range of certifications that meet workplace requirements across all 50 states. Whether you’re an individual wanting to be prepared in case of an emergency or a business looking to train your team, we provide courses that are both accessible and impactful.
What sets us apart
We believe that learning to save a life should never feel rushed, intimidating, or impersonal. That’s why our training goes far beyond the classroom:
Before class – We offer guidance, encouragement, and support to help every participant feel ready, even if it’s their first time.
During class – We teach with patience, real-life examples, and care — because learning should feel safe, not stressful.
After class – We stay connected. Whether it’s a question, a refresher tip, or a follow-up, we’re just a message away.
Our students don’t just leave certified — they leave confident!
It is our belief that anyone, from all walks of life, can learn how to save a life. You don’t need a high school diploma or college degree—just the willingness to learn. I’m proud to offer these courses to the community and believe that CPR and first aid skills are timeless tools that never go out of style. Teaching these skills isn’t just a job for me; it’s a calling that brings me a sense of purpose and joy. Every class is a chance to make a positive impact, and I’m excited to continue this work for years to come.
