 What if my employer does not accept "online" courses?

Keep in mind that what most employers mean by "online" courses is 100% online based BLS courses, which you can find on the internet. For good reason most employers will not accept those type of courses since they do not verify that you have actually learned the skills through in-person skills evaluation. Our online BLS certification courses are a form of "blended training", which has both online and in-person training components. This is very different from an "online" course. Also, the certification card that you receive from your local training center after completing your skills test will be the exact same card you would receive in a 100% classroom based course. So, unless you tell them, your employer will not even know that you took a portion of the course online. :-)

 Who can take these online courses? Are they just for retraining?

Anyone can take the online CPR certification courses on our website. The courses are designed for both initial certification and recertification.

 Is a skills test required?

If you need an "official" certification card and not just an online completion certificate, then yes. Otherwise, you do not. If you require an in-person skills test please be aware that there may be additional fees associated with this. Please contact My CPR Pros at 704.302.1055 for more information or for assistance in locating a skill testing facility.

 How is a skills session scheduled?

Please feel free to contact My CPR Pros at 704.302.1055 assistance in locating a skill evaluator in your area. Please keep in mind that each skill testing center may charge an additional fee for the skills test and that that fee varies from center to center. Typical rates run from $40-$75 for skills testing.
