We are confident in saying yes. Our courses follow AHA and ILCOR guidelines and are taught by an experienced registered nurse and AHA-trained instructor. Every year, tens of thousands of people certify with us across nursing, dentistry, teaching, worksite safety, firefighting, personal training, home health, and dozens of other fields. And if your employer turns out to be one of the rare exceptions, you are covered by our money-back acceptance guarantee.

It depends on the course and on you. Adult-Only CPR & AED takes as little as 15 minutes; BLS Certification runs up to about two hours. Every course is split into short video modules you can pause, rewind, replay, or skip, so you are never sitting through material you already know. Compare course lengths.

Not as part of our standard courses — all our instruction is online, which is what makes it work around a shift pattern. If you need an in-person assessment, get in touch: we have connections with providers throughout the United States and we will help you arrange one in your area.

Yes — with one thing worth understanding. The American Heart Association does not accredit fully online CPR courses that have no in-person component, so you should be sceptical of any online provider claiming to be "AHA-accredited." No such accreditation exists. What matters is whether a course follows AHA and ILCOR guidelines and whether employers accept the card. Ours does, and they do. Online learning has become the norm for working professionals who need certification for their job, and our students include nurses, doctors, dentists, and safety officers across the country.
