The hands-on parts of CPR — compression depth, rate, hand placement — are physical skills, but understanding when and why to act is what saves lives. Online training lets you spend as much time as you need on recognition, decision-making, and the algorithms, without a classroom timer pushing you to the next slide.
Most learners finish the full course in under two hours. You can pause, rewind a video on AED pad placement, and come back tomorrow. There's no scheduling around an instructor's calendar, no driving across town, and no embarrassment about asking the same question twice — you can replay it as many times as you need.
Our certification is accepted nationwide for school, childcare, fitness, and most workplace requirements, and it's backed by a money-back guarantee if your employer rejects it.

Frequently Asked Questions About CPR Certification
Got questions? We've got answers.
What is the difference between CPR and BLS?
Our CPR/AED & First Aid certification is designed for the general public and non-healthcare professionals — teachers, coaches, childcare staff, fitness pros. BLS (Basic Life Support) is more advanced and built for healthcare providers, with skills like bag-valve-mask ventilation and team-based resuscitation. If your employer asks specifically for "BLS," CPR will not satisfy that requirement.
How long is CPR certification valid?
CPR certification is valid for 2 years from the date of issue. After 2 years, you take a recertification course to maintain your active status. We recommend renewing 1–2 months before expiration to avoid a gap.
Is online CPR certification accepted by employers?
Our online CPR/AED & First Aid certification is accepted nationwide by employers, schools, daycare centers, and most organizations. Policies vary, so confirm with your employer or licensing board before enrolling. If your employer rejects it, we refund you in full — that's our employer-acceptance money-back guarantee.
How long is the course and how many exam attempts do I get?
Most learners finish in under 2 hours, fully self-paced. The exam is included with unlimited attempts, so you can review missed questions and retake it as many times as needed at no extra cost.
When do I get my CPR/AED & First Aid card?
Your digital provider card is available for download instantly after you pass the final exam — no waiting period. Save the PDF, print a wallet card, and send it to your employer the same day.
Do I need CPR certification or recertification?
Choose certification if this is your first time, or if your previous card has been expired for a long time and you want to start fresh. Choose recertification (renewal) if you currently hold — or recently held — a valid CPR card and just need to renew it.
What is your money-back guarantee?
If your employer or organization rejects our CPR certification for any reason, contact us with proof and we'll issue a full refund.
Will this satisfy state childcare licensing or daycare employment requirements?
Most states accept a nationally recognized CPR, AED & First Aid card for childcare licensing and daycare employment, and our course covers adult, child, and infant CPR plus first aid as required. Licensing rules vary by state and by employer, so confirm the specific wording your licensor or director requires before enrolling. If your employer or licensing board rejects the card, we refund you in full.
Does this meet CPR requirements for personal trainer certifications (NASM, ACE, ISSA, NSCA)?
Major personal training certifying bodies (NASM, ACE, ISSA, NSCA, AFAA) require a current CPR/AED card from a nationally recognized provider, which our course meets. As with any third party, confirm with your certifying body before purchase. If they reject it, you're covered by our employer-acceptance money-back guarantee.
