FAQs

How do I schedule the skills check-off portion if the certification class requires it?

I found a website saying I can complete my certificate 100% online. Is it legit?

 No. There is no major nationally recognized training program in the U.S. that endorses CPR, First Aid or American Heart Association's ACLS or PALS without practice and evaluation of hands-on-skills. Watch how to avoid online imitators video. 

Can I take a break while working on an online course?
