    Why Choose Online CPR Recertification?

    If you've held a CPR card before, recertification is a refresh — not a relearn. You already know how to do compressions and use an AED. What you actually need is a fast way to confirm you're current with the latest guidelines, run through the algorithms once or twice, and get an updated card in your inbox the same day.

    Most renewers finish in under an hour. You can do it before a shift, on a lunch break, or after the kids go to bed. There's no half-day classroom session, no driving anywhere, and you only spend time on the parts you've actually forgotten — skim the rest. The latest guideline updates touched a few items (opioid response, high-quality CPR feedback, post-arrest care); we flag what's new so you don't waste time re-reading what hasn't changed.

    Don't let your card lapse and end up retaking the full initial course later. Our renewal is accepted nationwide for school, childcare, fitness, and most workplace requirements, and it's backed by a money-back guarantee if your employer doesn't accept it.

    Who Needs CPR Recertification?

    Renewal is for the same group of people who needed the card in the first place. If you're in one of these roles and your CPR, AED, and First Aid card is close to expiring (or has already lapsed), this is the course you need to keep your credential current.

    Frequently Asked Questions About CPR Recertification

    Got questions? We've got answers.

    When should I renew my CPR certification?

    CPR certification is valid for 2 years. We recommend starting your recertification 1–2 months before your expiration date so you don't end up with a gap that affects your job, school, or licensing requirements.

    What if my CPR card has already expired?

    You can still take our recertification course even if your card has lapsed — there's no penalty and no rule forcing you back into the initial course. Complete the renewal and your updated card is available the same day.

    Who qualifies for CPR recertification?

    Recertification is for anyone who currently holds or recently held a CPR/AED & First Aid card and just needs to renew. If you've never been CPR-certified, take the initial certification course instead.

    Is online CPR recertification accepted by employers?

    Our online CPR/AED & First Aid recertification is accepted nationwide by employers, schools, and most organizations. Policies vary, so confirm with your employer if you're unsure. If they reject it, we refund you in full.

    How long does CPR recertification take?

    Most renewers finish in under an hour, fully self-paced. The exam is included with unlimited attempts at no extra cost — you can do it on a lunch break or after the kids go to bed.

    How is recertification different from initial certification?

    Recertification covers the same skills but is structured as a focused refresh for people who already know the material. You spend less time on basics and more time on what's changed in the latest guidelines and the parts people commonly forget between cycles.

    What is your money-back guarantee?

    If your employer or organization rejects our CPR recertification for any reason, contact us with proof and we'll issue a full refund.

    Will this renewal satisfy state childcare licensing or daycare employment requirements?

    Most states accept a nationally recognized CPR, AED & First Aid renewal card for childcare licensing and continued daycare employment. Licensing rules vary by state and by employer, so confirm the specific wording your licensor or director requires before renewing. If your employer or licensing board rejects the card, we refund you in full.

    Does this renewal 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 renewal meets. Confirm with your certifying body before purchase. If they reject it, you're covered by our employer-acceptance money-back guarantee.
