I would like to do a fully online CPR certification class. I have always done CPR through AHA for 14 years, but during the pandemic I would like to just do all online. Has anyone obtained certification through ProCPR? I saw that it looks like they send you a dummy and a virtual instructor watches you, I guess. Has anyone got certified through ProCPR before? And, did your work institution accept it. It has great reviews online.

I would check with your facility's policy. My facility's policy states that we only accept AHA. During the worst of COVID in my area, they did extend a grace period of 90 days for those who expired while classes were suspended, then had special make up classes only those folks could attend. They also instituted special measures, such as no more 2-rescuer. You demonstrated each role yourself without a partner.

I did them a few years ago. There was no dummy or anything sent. Only had an online test that my dog could pass. Of course, my employer did not accept it. AHA only
