What’s in a Typical CPR course?

At its core, CPR training teaches you the life-saving skill of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. These courses are built on the evidence-based global standards set by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR).

However, not all CPR courses are the same. The curriculum is tailored to your specific role and the level of care you may be expected to provide:

  • Lay Rescuer CPR: The essential "standard" training for the general public, parents, or teachers. It focuses on the most common emergencies.
  • Healthcare CPR (BLS): A more in-depth course designed for medical professionals, covering complex scenarios and advanced techniques encountered in clinical settings.

What You’ll Learn  In a typical course, you’ll learn how to assist adults, children, and infants. Beyond chest compressions, you’ll master tools like AEDs and personal protective equipment (PPE), and gain the skills to handle specific emergencies like choking or unconsciousness. 

The ProTrainings Difference Beyond the technical steps, we believe in preparing you for the reality of an emergency. Our courses go beyond physical skills; we address the psychological side of a crisis—including The Five Fears—to ensure you have the mental readiness to act when it matters most.

This Course Includes:

  • Follows AHA guidelines
  • 4.0 CME/CE credits
  • Certification card available to purchase for $59.95
  • 24/7 on-demand video
  • Access on mobile
  • Weekly refresher video
  • Expiration reminder
  • Student manual

Who Should Take a CPR Course?

While we believe everyone should learn CPR, most people take a certification course to meet specific professional requirements. Typically, these are roles in industries where there is a degree of risk to staff, clients, or the public.

Because every job is different, the type of CPR training you need will vary based on your specific responsibilities:
  • Healthcare Professionals: Usually require an in-depth BLS (Basic Life Support) course to meet clinical standards.
  • General Workforce: Professionals in fields like construction or manufacturing often need a combination of CPR and First Aid.
  • Education & Community: Teachers, coaches, and parents often focus on CPR for all ages (Adult, Child, and Infant).
The ProTrainings Advantage With a 99% employer acceptance rate, ProTrainings is designed to meet the rigorous standards of your industry. However, we always recommend verifying your specific requirements with your employer, especially if you need additional modules like First Aid.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do online CPR certification classes work?

Even if you aren’t technically savvy, completing your CPR certification online is simple and convenient.  

In most cases, your first step will be to choose the CPR course you want to be certified in. You want the course to meet the requirements of your job, so be sure to understand your employer’s regulations – such as if CPR for adults will suffice or if you should also learn CPR skills for children and adults – and choose correctly. 

The next step is to create an account on Protrainings.com so that your progress can be saved even if you start and stop the course over time.

The third step is to begin your training, which consists of watching video lectures and demonstrations, and then solidifying your knowledge by answering some pre-test questions. You can skip a video if you already know a subject or you can re-watch a video if you missed something.  

Once you complete the training, you finish the course with a multiple choice test, which you need to pass with an 80% or better in order to qualify for your CPR certification and card.

Why should you get CPR certified?

According to ILCOR and American Heart Association research, if performed in the first minutes of cardiac arrest, CPR can double or even triple a victim’s chance of survival. With nearly 383,000 sudden cardiac arrests occurring outside of hospitals each year, learning CPR is a vital, lifesaving skill. 

Furthermore, the majority of cardiac arrests occur at home, which means that if you need to use CPR, it will most likely be to save a loved one. 

Getting your CPR certification online teaches you how to give someone the best chance of survival by pumping blood throughout their body even if the heart has stopped, which provides the necessary oxygen to slow cell death. This gives the victim more time for an AED or emergency services to arrive.

Are Online CPR Certifications valid?

Yes! Online CPR certifications are valid as long as your state board and employer accept the program you choose. 

Throughout the history of CPR, it hasn't been the American Heart Association (AHA) or the Red Cross that decides which training qualifies for certification. In fact, for most professionals who need CPR certification to keep their licenses, the regulations come from their state boards. 

For jobs that don't require a state-issued license, approval comes from your employer.

Some approvals, such as certifications for OSHA and for keeping professional licenses, require hands-on practice. 

At ProTrainings, we get approval from state boards for all of our CPR courses and 99% of employers accept our CPR training and certifications.

How long does a CPR certification last?

As of January 2011, every CPR certification from any provider lasts 2 years before it needs to be renewed. In most situations, individuals will renew their certification anywhere from two months to a few days in advance of expiration. 

If someone lets their certification expire, they are considered “lapsed” and may face issues at work or may be required to take a lengthier class depending on their workplace requirements and the CPR provider. 

More recently, there are new certifications through a program called Real Quality Initiative (RQI) that offer “rolling” certificates. These are certifications that are renewed every quarter and continue perpetually.

At ProTrainings, we remind you of when your CPR certification is coming up for renewal and give you the tools necessary to complete your renewal efficiently online.
