Need your CPR certification online, without a classroom? This course teaches adult, child, and infant CPR plus AED use in about an hour, fully self-paced, with an instant digital certificate the moment you pass.

Unlike the anonymous instant-certificate sites, this course comes from a real training company. A-B-CPR has been an American Heart Association Training Center since 1998, with a named instructor and thousands of students trained in person. That matters when your certificate needs to be trusted.

One honest caveat, up front: a fully-online certificate is right for personal preparedness, caregivers, and many general workplace roles. It is not the right product for healthcare workers, licensed California childcare, or any job that requires a hands-on skills check. If that is you, our parent brand teaches those classes in person, and we will point you straight to them.

Who this course is for

  • Parents, grandparents, babysitters, and caregivers who want to be ready for an emergency at home
  • Teachers, coaches, fitness instructors, and school staff whose roles accept a fully-online certificate
  • Workplace safety teams in non-healthcare roles where the employer accepts online training
  • Anyone renewing their knowledge or preparing personally, on their own schedule

What it covers

  • Adult CPR: chest compressions and rescue breaths
  • Child CPR modifications
  • Infant CPR procedures
  • AED (automated external defibrillator) use and safety
  • Responding to cardiac arrest and choking emergencies
  • When and how to call 911

Frequently asked questions

Can I really get CPR certified online?

Yes. This course meets general CPR training standards for non-medical, non-regulated needs, and your digital certificate downloads the moment you pass. If your job or licensing board requires a hands-on skills check, you need an in-person or hybrid class instead; use our fit check or ask your employer first.

How long does online CPR certification take?

Most students finish in about an hour. The course is fully self-paced, so you can pause and resume anytime, on any device.

Does this course include AED training?

Yes. Full AED instruction for adults and children is included, along with choking response.

How long is the certification valid?

Two years from the date of completion. When it is time to renew, our online CPR renewal page walks you through it.

Is this online CPR certification accepted in California?

For most non-medical purposes, yes: general workplace training, school roles that do not require EMSA approval, and personal preparedness. California EMSA childcare licensing and healthcare BLS require in-person skills testing, which our parent brand A-B-CPR teaches in San Diego.

Will my employer accept an online-only certificate?

Many employers accept it for general workplace preparedness; healthcare, EMS, and licensed childcare typically do not. The honest answer is: ask your employer before you buy, from us or anyone. Our fit-check page lists the common cases.

Who is behind this course?

A-B-CPR Online Training is a company of A-B-CPR & First Aid Training, an American Heart Association Training Center that has taught CPR in California since 1998. Courses are built and overseen by Mike Long, a real instructor with decades of classroom experience.
