Real video training

CPR is a hands-on skill — you can’t learn it from a wall of text. CPR Certified courses are taught with professional training videos: real instructors demonstrating real compressions, rescue breathing, and AED use.

A certification that stands up at work

A bargain certificate your employer questions costs far more than it saved — it could cost you your job, or your company a contract. That’s why every CPR Certified certification is backed by a money-back acceptance guarantee: if your employer doesn’t accept your card, you get a 100% refund.

A real course, a real test

CPR Certified courses follow the same up-to-date AHA & ECC/ILCOR guidelines the big-name providers teach — without the scheduling hassle or the higher price. The exam actually tests CPR knowledge, and your certification, records, and renewals all live in one place.

If your CPR certification is coming up on its expiration date — or already past it — the good news is that renewing is faster than getting certified the first time, and you can do the whole thing online. Here's everything worth knowing about the renewal cycle, the process, and what to expect.

How Often Does CPR Certification Need to Be Renewed?

Most CPR certifications are valid for two years from the date you pass, and that two-year cycle is the standard most employers follow. Our CPR, AED, and BLS courses certify you for a full two years; Bloodborne and Airborne Pathogens certifications renew annually. If you're not sure when yours expires, the date is printed on your certificate and your wallet card — and once you're certified with us, we track it and remind you before it lapses.

Does CPR Certification Expire?

Yes — every CPR certification has an expiration date, and letting it slip past can mean missed shifts, a compliance gap at work, or a licensing headache. The best time to start your renewal is one to three months before your expiration date. Renewing early doesn't shorten your coverage or cost you anything extra — it's simply one less thing to scramble for.

How to Renew Your CPR Certification Online

Renewing with us takes three steps:

  • Sign in — or create an account if you're new. Students who certified with us pick up right where they left off.
  • Refresh and test — review the material you want, or go straight to the exam. Renewals aren't required to re-watch every lesson, and retakes are unlimited and free.
  • Print and go — your certificate is ready the moment you pass, and your professionally printed wallet card arrives by mail in 5-10 days.

Most students finish their entire recertification in about an hour.

Renewal Classes vs. Online Renewal

Traditional CPR renewal classes ask a lot: find a local class, fit its schedule, and often give up part of a workday. Online renewal removes all of it — no classroom, no in-person skills session, no travel. And unlike text-only certification sites, CPR Certified courses are taught with professional training videos, because hands-on skills are learned by watching real technique — not by reading about it. You recertify from your phone, tablet, or computer, on your own schedule, anywhere in the U.S. And the certification you earn follows the latest AHA & ECC/ILCOR guidelines, is accepted nationwide, and is backed by our money-back guarantee.

What's Different About a Recertification Course?

A recertification course uses the same materials as your original certification — the difference is how you move through it. As a renewing student, you can skip ahead to the sections you want to refresh and take the test as soon as you're ready, which is why renewal usually takes a fraction of the time your first certification did. You'll also be brought up to date on any guideline changes since your last training, so your skills reflect current best practice — not just a current card.

Renewing CPR, AED, and First Aid Together

Our CPR courses include AED training, so renewing your CPR certification renews your CPR and AED credential in one course. If your role requires first aid as well, the Adult CPR & First Aid combination course renews both in a single sitting — and healthcare providers can complete their full BLS renewal online the same way. Our Bloodborne and Airborne Pathogens courses cover OSHA-related workplace training requirements on the same annual footing.

What If Your Certification Has Already Expired?

A lapsed certification doesn't erase what you know — and with us, it doesn't cost you anything extra either. There's no penalty and no longer course required if your CPR card, license, or certification has already expired. Start today and you can be certified again within the hour, with a new two-year certification and a fresh wallet card on the way. From there, staying current stops being something you have to remember: your records live in your account, we track your new expiration date, and we'll remind you before your next renewal comes due.

We track your expiration and remind you before it lapses — you’ll never scramble for a renewal again. Real people, real support at 1-844-CPR-CERT.

Our Guarantee

Our CPR certifications are accepted by most industries and professions—guaranteed. If your employer doesn’t accept our card, we offer a 100% refund within 30 days.
