An honest note on acceptance
Modern CPR issues a Certificate of Completion built on the 2025 international guidelines. It’s independent — not AHA or Red Cross branded, and not the same as an in-person “BLS” skills check that some clinical or licensed roles require. Many families, employers, and programs accept an online certificate; some require in-person, hands-on training. Before you enroll for a specific requirement, please confirm it will be accepted — see our acceptance guide or ask us. If a listed employer won’t accept it, we’ll refund you.
Questions from educators
Will my school or district accept this?
Many schools accept an online Certificate of Completion for general preparedness; some districts require a specific in-person course. Check your district or employer’s requirement before enrolling — our acceptance guide explains where an online certificate fits.
Does it cover choking and allergic-reaction situations?
It covers relief of choking for every age and the core first-aid response, including recognizing a life-threatening emergency and getting help fast. It is general first-aid education, not a substitute for your school’s specific medical protocols or an EpiPen/asthma action plan.
How long does it take?
About four hours at your own pace, and your certificate is valid for two years.
Do I need any background?
None at all — it’s designed for everyone, with step-by-step lessons, knowledge checks, and realistic scenarios.
