Renewing CPR | What you should know.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To maintain your certification, you must take a CPR renewal class<\/a> every 2 years. The renewal class will cover all of the life-saving skills included in the full CPR class. In addition, any updates or changes to CPR will be included. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CPR or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is a life-saving skill that can be performed by almost anyone. The combination of chest compressions and rescue breaths provide oxygenated blood to major organs in addition to the brain. If someone is suffering from Cardiac Arrest, CPR can delay biological death and buy time until advanced cardiac care is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CPR Certification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You do not need CPR certification to perform CPR and save a life. However, if your job requires CPR, then you must obtain your certification and keep it current. You can receive your CPR certification by taking a class with an instructor or online. Certifications are valid for 2 years. So you must take the CPR Renewal class every 2 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CPR Renewal Online<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can renew your certification online <\/a> in minutes instead of hours in a classroom. Online education is the fastest and most convenient way to learn. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, online education has taken over as the number 1 method for CPR Renewal. Online classes can be taken at any time, and on any type of computer or smart device. In addition to being fast and convenient, you can work at your own pace. Online classes cover the exact same material as live instructor classes. The same 25-question, multiple-choice test is required for accredited certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American Heart Association CPR Renewal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most popular classroom based renewal course for CPR is the American Heart Association CPR Renewal. Typically, the class takes about 5.5 hours to complete. The curriculum is very similar to the full course which usually takes about 9 hours. Our online renewal course covers the exact same material as the American Heart Association CPR Renewal. However, our class can be completed in less than an hour. If you prefer a classroom-based course with a live instructor then the American Heart Association<\/a> CPR Renewal is a good option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American Heart Association Approved?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to popular belief, the American Heart Association does not approve classes. The American Heart Association works to develop guidelines for Emergency Cardiac Care, also known as ECC. Most states mandate that CPR certification courses follow the American Heart Association Guidelines. All of our CPR Renewal classes follow American<\/g> Heart Association Guidelines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On-Line vs. Classroom Course<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are many benefits of renewing your certification online instead of in a classroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
