FAQs
Everything You Need To Know
Which CPR course do I need?
The right course depends on your role and certification requirements. Healthcare professionals typically need BLS, ACLS, PALS or NRP, while childcare providers usually require Pediatric CPR & First Aid and EMSA Health & Safety. If you’re learning CPR for work, family or personal knowledge, our CPR & First Aid course is the best choice. If you’re unsure, our team is happy to help you choose the correct course.
What's the difference between BLS and CPR?
BLS (Basic Life Support) is designed for healthcare professionals such as nurses, doctors, EMTs and dental staff, covering advanced CPR techniques, team-based resuscitation and airway management. CPR & First Aid courses are intended for the general public and teach essential lifesaving skills, including CPR, AED use and first aid for adults, children and infants. (HeartCert CPR Training)
Are these official certification courses?
Yes. We are an official American Heart Association Training Centre offering AHA certification courses, alongside California EMSA-approved childcare training and selected American Red Cross courses. All certifications meet the relevant industry and regulatory requirements for the course you complete.
How long do courses take?
Course length varies depending on the programme. Most blended learning courses include 1–3 hours of online learning, followed by a 30-minute to 2-hour hands-on skills session, depending on the course. Online-only courses can usually be completed in around 1–2 hours at your own pace.
How long is certification valid?
Most American Heart Association, American Red Cross and American Academy of Pediatrics certification cards are valid for two years before renewal is required. We recommend checking your employer’s requirements and renewing before your certification expires.
Do I receive my card the same day?
Yes. Once you’ve successfully completed your required online learning and skills testing, you’ll receive your official certification card on the same day, so you’re ready to meet workplace or licensing requirements without delay.
Which courses are fully online?
Our Bloodborne Pathogens, Opioid Education and Pet First-aid courses are completed entirely online. Courses that lead to American Heart Association certification, such as BLS, ACLS, PALS and CPR & First Aid, require a hands-on skills session in addition to the online learning to receive certification.

Which course do California childcare providers need?
Most California childcare providers need Pediatric CPR & First-aid and EMSA Health & Safety training to meet state childcare licensing requirements. If you’re unsure which certification your employer or licensing body requires, contact us and we’ll point you towards the correct course.
