Taking a CPR class can equip you with the skills and knowledge to save someone’s life in an emergency situation. Knowing how to perform CPR can help to keep someone’s heart and lungs functioning until medical professionals arrive on the scene. Additionally, many jobs require CPR certification, so taking a class can enhance your employability.

The best way to learn CPR is through hands-on training from a qualified instructor. In-person classes provide the opportunity to practice CPR techniques on a mannequin and receive real-time feedback from the instructor. Online courses are available but may not offer the same level of hands-on training and may not be accepted by some employers.

BLS (Basic Life Support) is a more comprehensive training course that covers a wider range of emergency response skills, including CPR, AED use, and first aid. CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is a technique used to maintain blood flow and breathing in a person experiencing cardiac arrest or other life-threatening situations.

Yes, CPR certification courses typically require a skills test, where you will be evaluated on your ability to perform CPR correctly. Some courses also require a written test.

CPR/AED certifications typically last for two years. After this time, you will need to retake the certification course and pass the skills and written tests to renew your certification.

Yes, you can perform CPR even if your certification is expired. In an emergency situation, it is better to attempt CPR even if you are unsure of the correct technique, rather than not attempting it at all. However, it is recommended to renew your certification as soon as possible to ensure you have the most up-to-date skills and knowledge.
