Which CPR class should you choose?

01 / Ask what is required

Start with the requirement, not the acronym.

If a workplace, school, licensing organization, or program requires training, ask it for the exact course name and accepted provider. “CPR” can describe several courses intended for different audiences. A course that is right for one role may not meet another role’s requirements.

02 / Clarify the audience

Who will the training prepare you to help?

Ask whether your requirement includes adults, children, infants, First Aid, or a professional-level course. Share that information when you inquire. Do not assume every CPR class includes all of these components.

03 / Choose the learning format

Know what happens before and during class.

Read the listing for any online preparation, in-person practice, skills assessment, and other completion requirements. Make sure you can complete every required component before your deadline. A general awareness session and a certification course can have different outcomes.

04 / Confirm the credential

Check before reserving your place.

• Exact course title and accepted training provider.
• Credential awarded after successful completion.
• Prerequisites and any renewal eligibility requirements.
• Class date, location, preparation, and time commitment.
• Employer acceptance and your completion deadline.
