I recently did my renewal using the online class portion and just needed to go to do the skills test part of it afterwards. The link for the online class:

http://www.onlineaha.org/ the online class cost $17.50. There are a few "check points" during the course where you have to get a certain score on the questions they give you. You have to pass those sections for it to give you a certificate to print out to take to your skills test. It allows you to pace yourself and you get the opportunity to retake those "check points" till you get a passing score. It is pretty easy, she shouldn't have a problem.

I did my skills test through Dunn CPR in Arlington. REALLY great people and you can come in during their business hours at your convenience.

http://www.dunncpr.com/ Their cost for the skills test was $20. Although, the first link in this post will allow you to also find locations for the BLS skills test if you need something closer to you. I found it to be cheaper than at some of the hospitals that I looked into, but when you do that, you pay for the booklet that they give you. I hope that helps some!

The online course allows you to only do those "check points" so that would take less than an hour I would think. The skills test won't take more than an hour. You are tested over: 1 person adult CPR, AED use, one-person infant CPR and the two-person infant CPR. It is by far quicker and easier than sitting through a four hour class, but for some people that is helpful.

Also, some skills test locations do not allow you time to practice if it has been a long time since playing with the mannequins. That may be something she may want to ask about when calling, if that is what she needs.

in the North Dallas/Richardson/Plano area.....
