Online class for CPR/AED and First Aid certification?

I want to get CPR/AED and First Aid Certified, but all the training courses for my state are pretty far away.
I found an online course, http://cprcare.com/, has anyone used this site? Is it good enough for certification? Any other site recommendations?

1. I would not suggest doing an online certification. The reason is simple first aid is a practical skill not an theoretical one. Therefore, you should try and do a hands on course. I am not sure if you are in school or not but many schools offer them if yours does not maybe you should look into putting one together. Another opportunity would be to wait for a course to come closer to your area. If you are interested in learning some first aid skills for the mean time you should check out you tube for AUTHORITATIVE sources.

2. i have never heard of this site you need to see if it is accredited in the state where you live and will be working the only thing i can recommend is the red cross or your local fire department
