In about 2 to 5 hours, you can be pass this course and receive a 2-year certificate the same day. (Blended Learning Option: approx. 1 to 2 hours online and 30 to 90 minutes in class.)
  • Professional CPR/AED - This course (for health care professionals and first responders) only takes 5 1/2 hours but gives you a 2-year certification and professional-level CPR/AED skills for all victims. (Blended Learning Option: 2 hours online and 2 1/2 in class.)
