Online CPR Class Scams

Fraudulent Online Courses

Fraudulent online CPR courses are more common than you might think. Every month, we see students submitting fake online CPR certificates. These scams are often run by companies that seem legitimate but are, in fact, deceptive.

Red Flags to Watch For:

  • No Local Phone Number: Legitimate companies always provide reliable local contact information.
  • False AHA Compliance Claims: Some websites falsely advertise their courses as American Heart Association (AHA)-compliant when they are not.
  • Negative Reviews: A quick online search can uncover red flags. If you see lots of negative reviews, it’s best to steer clear.
At Safety Training Seminars, we only accept authentic American Heart Association certificates. Not sure if yours is valid? Compare it to the sample at the top of this page or give us a call—we’re here to help.
