Questions about online CPR?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is Online CPR?<\/strong>

Online CPR is a CPR Certification Class taken online using your computer or mobile device instead of a classroom. Class instruction is given through written content, illustrations, \u00a0video, and interactive prompts. There are many benefits to online instruction. Online classes are more convenient, you can study in the comfort of your own home or office. You can learn at your own pace, and review material to reinforce learning. You can also start, stop and skip around the course as much as you want. Optionally, students can have the ability to practice on a manikin and have either automated or live instructor feedback through video.You can renew your CPR certification online no matter where you completed your current certification. You can take the renewal course<\/a> if you have previously taken a CPR course. The only requirement is that a nationally accredited organization issued your previous card.<\/p> <\/div>

What about a hands-on demonstration?<\/strong>

Some employers require classes with hands-on demonstrations. In other words, you will need to demonstrate that you can perform CPR before receiving your card. Several options are available to demonstrate your skills. AEDCPR<\/a> can send you a manikin for you to use at home. This is the most convenient way to perform a skills demonstration. Several types of manikins are available. When using a manikin at home, you can demonstrate your skills with our interactive app. The app will tell you if you are performing CPR correctly. You can also choose to have an instructor video conference with you to view skills and answer any questions you may have. Another option is to visit a local instructor to perform a demonstration of your skills. This is the blended course option.<\/p> <\/div>

Will my employer accept an online certification?<\/strong>

The American AED CPR Association<\/a> created the first online CPR course in 1999. At that time most users still connected to the Internet with a dial-up modem. The class content consisted mostly of text with low-resolution images. In 1995 Thanks to the development of High-Speed Internet and new web\/mobile technologies, online classes have evolved into what we have today. As new technology is developed, our online courses will continue to evolve.<\/p> <\/div>

Is it better to take CPR in a classroom?<\/strong>

The choice to take your CPR certification course online or in a classroom is a personal decision. Some individuals are better suited to learning in a classroom.

What\u2019s the difference between an Online CPR Class and a Blended CPR Class?<\/strong>

A Blended CPR Class is a combination of online and classroom methods. Course material in Blended CPR Class also completed online. However, in a blended course, you will then need to demonstrate your skills on a CPR manikin. You can illustrate your CPR skills by visiting an instructor. You can also have a CPR manikin shipped to your home or organization. Then you demonstrate your skills via an interactive online interface.<\/p> <\/div>

What\u2019s the difference between Online CPR and CPR in a classroom?<\/strong>

Both Online CPR and CPR in a classroom cover the same material. Organizations like the American Heart and American Red Cross have geared their classes towards video-based instruction. This change ensures the course content remains the same for everyone. The online instruction method is superior to watching a video in class because it allows you to learn at your own pace. If you miss something in a video-based class, you need to wait until the video has finished so you may ask your instructor. Studies have shown that learning online offers higher comprehension and retention than videos in a classroom.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mike was raised in New York, where at a young age he became an instructor for the American Red Cross, the National Safety Council, the American Safety Health Institute (ASHI), and the American Heart Association (AHA). He then earned a BS in Mathematics and trained to become a paramedic. In 1995, Mike began teaching emergency medical and continuing education classes at hospitals, schools, and other institutions. He has taught at Molloy College, New York College of Osteopathic Medicine, and Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital to name a few. In 1999, Mike founded the American AED CPR Association (AEDCPR), an organization specializing in emergency cardiac care training. Under his leadership, AEDCPR has expanded throughout the United States, and internationally into Europe, Asia, and Africa. Through their network of instructors and innovative website, they have trained over a million people in CPR, AED, First Aid, and Bloodborne Pathogens . Mike helped develop one of the first online learning platforms for the NYS department of labor. He continues to develop new and innovative online tools. This is why the American AED CPR Association has been recognized as a leader in both online and blended classroom training. After years of teaching and performing emergency medical procedures, it was Mike who needed CPR. After an accident racing offshore powerboats, Mike was saved by a team of well-trained rescuers with only seconds to spare. Since that accident, Mike\u2019s mission has been to make sure everyone has access to learn life-saving skills. \"If what we do helps to save at least 1 life, then we have succeeded...\" Mike Figuero","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mike.figuero","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/mike-figuero-01a73649\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.aedcpr.com\/articles\/author\/mike-figuero\/"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https:\/\/www.aedcpr.com\/articles\/top-10-questions-about-online-cpr-certification\/#faq-question-1654283358093","position":1,"url":"https:\/\/www.aedcpr.com\/articles\/top-10-questions-about-online-cpr-certification\/#faq-question-1654283358093","name":"What is Online CPR?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Online CPR is a CPR Certification Class taken online using your computer or mobile device instead of a classroom.
