How long does it typically take to complete an online CPR/First Aid Course and get certified?

Public Comments

1. I am not aware of good online CPR training. I would suggest going to a school or hospital nearby to get proper training. There are some things you need to do 'hands on' to really benefit from the training. I've been certified for about 10 years now and it's essential that you learn in a classroom with an instructor.

2. i did mine for work but i didnt do it online they had paramedics come in to the personal care home where we work and it took a few hours i dont think online training would be good hands on would be better

3. As far as I can tell, most on-line certifications are almost a scam. You see, ANYONE can offer certification in anything. The trick is will anyone accept it?

You see, most jobs and educational programs require that your CPR certification come from a place that requires hands-on skills and a live instructor.

I cannot tell you how many people ask the question "I took an on-line class that my (job, school, etc.) won't accept. Now what?"
