Are online CPR classes valid?
There are lots of online CPR classes available on the internet. Unfortunately, many of these are an internet scam. In order to receive a valid CPR certification card, you need to be in a classroom with a certified CPR instructor and practice on manikins. We have lots of students that pay $40- $60 for an online CPR certification which is not valid and then they have to pay to take a real CPR class all over again. In order to receive an official American Heart Assocation CPR card, you must take the online testing, then come in to our classroom to practice on the CPR manikins.
