A certificate that proves you're ready
Your Modern CPR certificate documents real, comprehensive, exam-verified training in the skills that save lives — skills you earned by showing what you know. Here's what it covers, and how certificate acceptance actually works.
Comprehensive, current, and proven
By the time you finish, you'll have learned — and demonstrated on a real, 90%-to-pass exam — every core skill a modern rescuer needs:
CPR for every age
High-quality chest compressions and rescue breaths for adults, children, and infants.
Using an AED
Turn it on, follow the prompts, and deliver a shock with confidence.
Relief of choking
The updated back-blow and abdominal-thrust sequences for every age.
Practical first aid
Confident response to the everyday emergencies you're most likely to meet.
Severe bleeding control
Direct pressure, tourniquets, and wound packing — the actions that buy time.
Opioid overdose & naloxone New in 2025
Recognize an opioid emergency and use naloxone (Narcan) to save a life.
Everything is built on the current 2025 international guidelines — and includes 2025 additions like opioid/naloxone response and severe bleeding control that many shorter courses still leave out.
It's about preference — not ranking
Different employers and programs simply prefer different providers. Some ask for an AHA card, some for the American Red Cross, and many happily accept quality online training like ours. That's a preference, not a quality ranking — no single card is universally required, and one provider isn't "better" than another. What actually matters is that you learned the skills. Here, you will.
A perfect fit for
- Parents, families, and caregivers who want to be ready at home
- Community members, volunteers, and everyday Good Samaritans
- Many workplaces that accept online training
- Coaches, camp staff, and school groups where your state allows online training
- Anyone refreshing their skills and confidence between in-person certifications
Good to know
Some regulated clinical roles — hospitals, nursing programs, EMS — require an in-person, hands-on skills check by law. That's a requirement of the role, not a reflection of your training. If that's your path, Modern CPR is outstanding preparation — you'll walk in already knowing the material cold — and a blended online-plus-skills option is on the way.
Not sure what your employer prefers? A quick email to them is the fastest way to find out — and if a listed employer won't accept your certificate, we'll refund you.
