Where is a AHA completely online course that I could take? I need to renew my ACLS and NRP ASAP !

There is no such thing. AHA does have an ACLS class online (it takes longer than a renewal class to complete) but then you still have to do a skills assessment. Any online class without hands on skills will not get you an AHA ACLS card. Same basic story with NRP.

There is a Part 1 and a Part 2. You will need to pay for Part 1 and complete it online, then print the completion certificate. Part 2 skills providers can be found through the AHA website. I suggest trying to take both skills tests at the same time (the place may give you a financial break). There are EMS instructors and some hospital based. Since you need NRP, check a children's hospital education department. I had at least 3 instructors listed as PALS and when I called, they said they don't do PALS. Do not get on those "online only" ACLS sites. Almost no hospitals (in my experience) accept those. You need AHA Healthcare Provider cards

I didn't see NRP on that site (they do have PALS). Just make sure you have a legit AHA logo on the website. (Or call children's hospital locally and ask)

Here is one link. The last time I took NRP is was all classroom, so I haven't used this:
