Online CPR Renewal

Published

Specializes in Hospice, ALF, Prison.

I need to renew my CPR card by the end of the month and schools are out for the summer.

Has anyone refreshed their card on line and then had it accepted from a employer? I am thinking of using:

www.icpri.com

The only other option is to go to a agency that offers it one day of week in the am, but that means I can't work for that shift.

Thanks for your feedback.

I wouldn't do it unless an AHA card is offered. Can you still do the AHA's online renewal and have someone check you off on skills?

Have you tried local police or fire stations? They offer the classes in my area all of the time, including weekends. I would also check the websites of hospitals in your area. The CPR class info is usually under "community events".

I got a certificate on line from American Heart. For a while I was able to work agency with the cert while I tried to find a CPR class to do the practical part. Some of the hospitals here will not take just the cert, they want the card. Finally took the whole thing over again last month and still waiting for the card. I would not use any site except Am Heart.
