We make online CPR renewal easy!

We proudly offer quick and effective online CPR recertification courses for anyone who needs it. Take the courses while you relax at home, or study and do the work at night or on the weekends. We offer you full flexibility to work at a pace and a schedule that is comfortable and convenient.

In the medical field you must continuously maintain, and improve your skills to develop your understanding of various life-saving procedures. Obtaining your renewal every two years ensures you have up-to-date techniques for first aid, emergency care, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Perhaps the most critical aspect of renewing online is simply to keep it fresh in your memory. Our recertifications are valid for two years, and the bloodborne pathogen recertification is good for one year. However, while CPR is an invaluable skill to learn, you likely won’t use it often if you’re not a medical professional. As such, you’ll likely forget critical steps in the process if you’re not regularly performing the procedure. For example, the most commonly forgotten procedures include:

• Checking for safety (and breaths) prior to activating the emergency response system
  • Our renewal courses will help you remember to always evaluate the scene to ensure you’re in a safe environment prior to assisting the victim. The last thing you need to happen in a life-threatening emergency is to become injured or incapacitated yourself. Situations such as car accidents, or even aggressive bystanders can result in even worse outcomes than the immediate situation at hand.
  • Being able to recognize how a victim is breathing is crucial to your next steps. Recognizing cardiac arrest, and checking for absence of breaths, or abnormal breathing needs to be performed prior to activating the emergency response system.
• Early administration
  • If you’re a bystander administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation, you need to focus on performing the procedure. Our renewal courses will help you remember that this is a critical step. Ensure you’re instructing others around to call for help and retrieve an AED while you’re performing chest compressions and breaths.
• Depth and ratio of chest compressions
  • Knowing the depth and ratio of chest compressions to breaths is essential. Our online courses will refresh your memory and give you a review of the correct procedures for adults, children, and infants, as well as the difference with 1 and 2 rescuers.

Reviewing cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills on a regular basis will keep the steps fresh in your mind when you need it most. It is particularly important to ensure you commit the above steps to memory, and it is easy to do with our renewal course. The courses are designed by medical professionals in a simple, concise format to ensure you receive a proper recertification.

Do not let scheduling prevent recertification

Acquiring your recertification can be difficult when balancing your family, career, and personal life. How do you find the time to attend a traditional classroom setting? What if you only need to relearn the number of chest compressions per minute? With our CPR recertification courses you will quickly learn what you need to know. That is why we offer flexibility in completing the courses, and cover everything from basic first aid to cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Every one of our in-home learning opportunities offers the best information available. The courses are designed with in-depth, focused material to ensure you have an outstanding cardiopulmonary resuscitation and first aid experience. You can spend as much, or as little time needed on our free recertification courses. If you are a seasoned cardiopulmonary resuscitation professional with little time to spend in a classroom setting, you can skip the course and go straight to the exam. If you haven’t reviewed the technique in years, you can take as much time as you need studying our material and taking the exam. We offer the best of both worlds with our CPR recertification online courses.

Getting recertified online during COVID-19

Our free courses will help you learn the newest methods and instill confidence that you’re performing the proper techniques when an emergency arises.
