FAQ
Is an online-only CPR card valid?
Most employers and licensing boards won't accept a card unless it includes an in-person skills check. AHA blended courses and RQI stations include one. Check with your employer before you pay for a course that's online only.
How much does a class cost?
It depends on the provider and the course, and none of the local providers above post a single set price. Call or check when you register.
How long does certification last?
AHA and Red Cross CPR cards are usually good for two years.
