How Can I Learn CPR Online?
You can now learn CPR quickly and easily through an online course. You can certify in CPR using your computer or mobile device. Online CPR classes cover the same material as a classroom-based course. Studies show that online learning is actually better than video-based classroom training. If your employer or school requires a hands-on demonstration, we can also send you a manikin to practice and demonstrate your skills.

Employers of all size, including Fortune 500 companies have also accepted AEDCPR certifications. We back our certifications with a 100% money-back acceptance guarantee. There is absolutely no risk.
Benefits of learning CPR Online
Online classes are the best way to learn CPR. There are many benefits. Here are a few of them.
Convenience
A traditional CPR class is 5-9 hours long and sometimes takes 2 days to complete. You can learn CPR online in a fraction of the time. There is no need to travel to a training center. Also, there is no need to schedule the class in advance. The online class can be completed in the convenience of your own home, office or any location you choose. You can also take the class at your convenience, anytime you like.
Learn at your own pace
Our online classes allow you to learn at your own pace. Classroom-based CPR courses use videos to present material. If you miss something or need and explanation, you must wait until the end of the video to ask the instructor. Most course material is sequential. In other words, you must understand part 1 in order to learn part 2. This is why online learning is superior to classroom-based instruction. You can learn part 1 and move to part 2 when you’re ready. You can also go back to any part of the class if questions come up later in the course.
Review material anytime
You can return to aedcpr.com anytime you like to review class materials. You can review the complete course or a single section. In addition, you can start, stop and skip around anytime you like. You can also return to the class months or years later and review material if you like. In addition to reviewing class materials, you can view updates and changes to course materials.
Updates without retaking the entire class

Renew in minutes
With an online CPR class, you can renew your certification in minutes. Unlike a classroom-based class which takes hours of your day. Typical classroom based CPR renewals must be scheduled well in advance.
Online CPR Training vs Classroom Training – Which is better?
Online classes are actually superior to in classroom instruction. We did a study that illustrated how online instruction is better than classroom instruction. Since online classes move at your own pace, students are more likely to review material until they have a clear understanding. In classroom-based instruction, students are more likely to hold questions until the end. Similarly, during video-based instruction, students are less likely to ask questions. Teachers and instructors agree, it’s better to fully understand the topic you are learning before moving on to the next topic. Online training is the best way to learn CPR.
Who started teaching CPR Online?
The American AED CPR Association, better known as AEDCPR, developed the first online based CPR class for a New York Uninversity in 1998. Then in 1999, that class became available to the general public. Classes have evolved from simple text and images, to the interactive media rich classes we have today. AEDCPR has stayed on the cutting edge of online education.
Is a live demonstration required?
A live demonstration is not required for certification. However, your school or employer may request a skills demonstration. If you are in need of a demonstration of skills, a CPR manikin can be sent to you.
Are Online CPR all the same?
Not all providers are the same. The American AED CPR Association provides both online and classroom based instruction. Our online courses cover the exact same material as our classroom based courses, which is why our classes have the highest acceptance rate of any provider. All of our courses are written by American Heart Intstructor Trainers, doctors and paramedics. Other online providers offer short classes with less information and don’t cover the same material. Even worse, some onlne CPR classes are just a scam. They have no credentials, no experience and offer fake certifications. Beware of fake CPR websites.
Can I learn CPR for free?

Blended Classes
A blended course combines an online class with a skills demonstration. Some employers and schools require a skills demonstration for professional level certifications. If your school or employer requires a demonstration, you can take a blended course. In a blened course, the class material and test is first completed online. A skills demonstration or skills test is next. The easiest way to test your skills is to have us send you a maniken. You can use our interactive app or video chat with an instructor.
