Why should you take a CPR class?
With over 500,000 cardiac emergency situations occurring each year, learning proper CPR can make a huge difference. The chance of survival will increase significantly if patients or victims receive Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation immediately before the emergency medical services team arrives. In addition, many jobs worldwide require CPR certification as part of their employment requirements, not just in the healthcare industry. Companies and organizations want staff members to have this training, even if there is no exceptional need.
Vermont CPR/AED, First Aid & BLS Certification Classes Approved by AHA Trained Physicians
Unlike most other online CPR/AED, First Aid & BLS certification courses, our CPR and BLS Certification in Vermont was written and approved by American Heart Association trained U.S board certified physicians and healthcare professionals. As a result, you can feel confident in the quality of our CPR/AED, first aid, and BLS certification courses. Our online course covers the same topics that American Heart Association compliant classroom courses train you on. But, our CPR/AED training and certification exam are more affordable and convenient than many classroom based CPR/AED, First Aid & BLS training courses. Acceptance varies by industry:
- Healthcare/EMS - Vermont employers typically require an official AHA card.
- Childcare - Vermont Child Development Division requires CDD-approved pediatric CPR; online-only may not qualify.
- Workplaces (OSHA) - OSHA requires hands-on CPR practice for compliance.
- Hospitality/general use - Acceptance may vary; check with employer.
FAQs About Online Certifications in Vermont
I live in a rural area; will my CPR card and certification be delivered to my location?
Absolutely! Your CPR, First Aid or BLS certification wallet card can be mailed to any address in the United States including P.O. boxes. Fast delivery is also an option when checking out.
Do you require a local clinical test component?
No. Our CPR and First Aid Certification online courses are 100% online and can be taken from any location where you have internet. Vermont childcare regulations require current pediatric first aid and infant/child CPR from a Child Development Division (CDD)-approved program. Acceptance of 100% online CPR training is not guaranteed—check with your program or licensor.
Does this CPR/BLS course fulfill the Vermont requirements?
Yes, our courses are guaranteed to fulfill requirements in every state throughout the U.S. including Vermont. OSHA requires CPR and first aid training to include physical skills practice. Online-only CPR courses do not meet OSHA’s standard interpretation. If you need CPR for workplace compliance (hospitality, construction, general industry), choose a course with hands-on or blended learning.
I need Basic Life Support Training (BLS). Can you help with that too?
Yes, we can. We offer an online BLS certification course in addition to our online CPR and First Aid course.
Do CPR certifications expire?
Yes. CPR certifications have an expiration. Therefore, you need to renew your certification every two years by taking the CPR recertification exam. We also offer American Heart Association BLS recertification courses at CPR Select if you need to renew.
