Does ProCPR "fly" with school?

[jschut]

I need a CPR course for school that begins in March. I have not been expired over 6 months, so this place said I could do their course online and have a re-cert for 2 more years.

To be truthful, I didn't want to go to the one at work, because the woman teaching there, well, her and I are at totally different ends of the spectrum, if you know what I mean, and I have absolutely no doubt that she would make 3 hours around her living hell for me. (She's a "unit manager", I think, but none of us really know her title...)

Anyway, I digress...

Is this place ok for my recert, and have any of you used their services for school or otherwise?

Thanks!

the aha does not "sanction" courses. they did publish the 2005 guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiovascular care from which they then developed their courses. other agencies have developed courses from these guidelines as well. the american red cross (arc): cpr/aed for the professional rescuer and american safety and health institute (ashi): cpr pro for the professional rescuer are two such courses that i am familiar with. although i am not familiar with the procpr program it is entirely possible that it is in fact written in accordance with the 2005 guidelines.

bingo!

how is this any different that what procpr does? it's my understanding that they also offer a blended course where you complete the written test on line and then do the return skills demonstration with one of their instructors.

that is also correct. it is no different from what procpr does. they even try to locate a skill evaluator for you.
