Is the American Red Cross Professional Rescuer Card the same as the CPR/AED/First Aid Certificates?

I just took a class today, but I received 6 certificates...not a card. Is it the same?

1. No they are different

2. If you took the American Red Cross CPR for Professional Rescuers class, you would have received a card (which is also a certificate) for that class, and it would say the name of the class on it.

Layperson CPR/AED/First Aid classes ARE NOT the same as CPR for the Professional Rescuer, no matter how many cards you received.
