How it works

From enrollment to certificate, in about 1–2 hours

No classroom, no scheduling, no waiting for a card in the mail. Here is the whole process, exactly as it happens.

  1. Pick your course and enroll

    Choose the course that matches your requirement (the fit check helps if you are unsure). Clicking Enroll takes you to our secure course portal at portal.a-b-cpr.com, where checkout takes about a minute and the course opens immediately.

  2. Complete the training, at your pace

    Video-based lessons with reviews along the way, on any phone, tablet, or computer. Pause anytime; your progress saves. Most students finish CPR in about an hour and the CPR and first aid combo in 90 to 120 minutes.

  3. Pass the quizzes

    CPR classes (any course that includes CPR) have short 5-question checkpoint quizzes along the way, and you need 100% on each one to move forward, with unlimited retries. Courses without CPR end with a short final assessment you pass at 80% or higher. Either way, you can retake as many times as you need.

  4. Download your certificate instantly

    The moment you pass, your digital certificate is ready: a printable PDF plus a digital copy for your employer, valid two years and verifiable anytime. When renewal comes around, the online renewal course takes about an hour.

Frequently asked questions

What happens after I click Enroll?

You are taken to our secure course portal (portal.a-b-cpr.com) to check out and start immediately. Your progress saves automatically, so you can enroll on one device and finish on another.

What are the quizzes like?

CPR classes (any course that includes CPR) have short 5-question checkpoint quizzes along the way. You must score 100% on each one to move forward, and you can retry as many times as you need. Courses without CPR end with a short final assessment you pass at 80% or higher, with retakes allowed. Either way, the course material stays available while you work through it.

What do I actually receive when I pass?

An instant digital certificate: a printable PDF plus a digital version to submit to an employer. It is valid for two years (bloodborne pathogens: one year, per OSHA) and can be verified through our verification page.

What if I get stuck or need help?
