Why CPR Training Matters
CPR training helps individuals develop the knowledge and practical skills to recognize a cardiac emergency and respond while professional help is on the way.

Before you choose a class
How Training and Certification Work
Learning CPR is not the same thing as receiving a credential. The organization that issues a card sets the instruction, the skills check, and the renewal rule.
1
Select appropriate training
Match the course to the setting, such as community CPR/AED, first aid, pediatric care, or Basic Life Support. These course types are not interchangeable.
2
Complete required instruction
Instruction may be in person, online, or a blend of both. The issuing organization decides which parts are required.
3
Demonstrate required skills
American Heart Association programs that lead to a CPR skills credential include a hands-on assessment. Red Cross workplace certification also requires an in-person skills assessment.
4
Receive applicable completion documentation
A certificate or completion card is awarded only when that organization's requirements are met. This website does not issue another organization's card.
Group and corporate training
Training can be planned for a workplace, school, healthcare team, or private group. Online quote requests are not open yet.
