Why Do I Need a CPR Certification?

A cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) course is an essential investment for anyone. Many healthcare professionals require an up-to-date CPR certification, as do many emergency responders, such as policemen or firemen. However, people who look after children or the elderly, as well as anyone who simply wants to have life-saving techniques at their fingertips, should also seek out a valid and current CPR certification.

Regardless of the reason you're looking to obtain your CPR certification, the average cost of a course can vary greatly depending on a number of factors. These factors include whether the course is offered online or in-person, how long the certification lasts, whether or not it is nationally accepted, and what organizations are endorsing the course.

What is the Cost of a CPR Certification Course?

At American CPR Care Association, our CPR/AED certification course costs $12.99. For this, you will receive:

  • Nationally-accepted certification or recertification
  • Instant access to your downloadable certification card
  • A money-back guarantee if your certification is not accepted
  • Certification which includes infant, child, and adult CPR procedures

How Long Does CPR Certification/Recertification Take?

Our fully-online CPR/AED course is specifically crafted to allow you to work at your own pace. However, you can complete your course in as little as an hour, and the average time to finish is 1 to 2 hours. Additionally, you do not need to finish the course in a single sitting. Rather, you have the freedom to log out and log back into the course at any time. Feel confident in the fact that you will have unlimited access to all course materials for 60 days from the date of purchase.

What Other Certifications Should I Receive Along with CPR?

There are several other certifications that can accompany CPR. In particular, American CPR Care Association offers a bundle that combines CPR and First Aid for $35.95. In addition, our bloodborne certification course is available for $9.99. The price includes continued access to all course material, an immediate soft copy of your wallet certification card (once you pass the course), and a mailed, hard copy of the wallet card.

Online Vs. In-Person Certification:

Our CPR/AED course is offered 100% online, which allows you the freedom and flexibility to complete it at your own pace. Compared with in-person certification, it is much more flexible and works with your schedule. Additionally, our CPR/AED course can be completed in as little as 1 – 2 hours and still provides the same amount and level of training as an in-person course.

Despite the fact that our CPR course is fully online, we do also offer CHAMP, which allows you to obtain a hands-on certification on your certification card. Through CHAMP, you can do a video conference with a hands-on portion after obtaining your online certification. You will be sent a hand-made mannequin and do a video conference with one of our instructors, and in this way, you will receive your hands-on certification as well.

Is Getting a CPR Certification Worth the Cost?

While the cost of a CPR certification course can often run you upwards of $50, regardless of the price, it's a worthwhile investment. Not only does CPR certification increase your credibility within the workplace (even if you don't work in healthcare or a related field) but it's a skill set that can literally benefit the lives of everyone around you. If you are ever in a caretaking position with children or the elderly, CPR certification is essential, even if not required. And, regardless of your daily responsibilities, having life-saving skills available at any time in case of emergency is critical.

Luckily, with the American CPR Care Association, you don't need to worry about spending a fortune on your CPR certification. You can complete it quickly and easily from your home for only $9.99.
