CPR certificates are valid for two years, and the renewal is often the thing that slips. The fix takes about an hour: recertify online, pass the quiz, and your new certificate downloads instantly.

Renewal here is the full current course at the same price as first-time certification. That is deliberate. Guidelines are revised regularly, and a renewal that skips the material is how skills go stale. Most renewing students finish fast anyway because they know the terrain.

One thing to check before you enroll: if your expiring card is an AHA BLS or EMSA childcare card that your job requires, renewal has to be hands-on too. We link you to the right in-person renewal class rather than sell you a certificate your employer will bounce.

Who this course is for

  • Anyone whose CPR certification has expired or expires soon
  • People who certified in person last time but whose current role accepts an online-only certificate
  • Parents, caregivers, coaches, and workplace responders keeping a certification current
  • Lapsed certificate holders: it does not matter how long ago yours expired

What it covers

  • The full current CPR curriculum, not a shortened review: guidelines change, so renewal covers everything
  • Adult, child, and infant CPR
  • AED use and safety
  • Choking response
  • What changed since your last certification cycle

Why this certificate is worth trusting

  • AHA Training Center company

    A-B-CPR & First Aid Training Inc has been an American Heart Association Training Center since 1998. That's decades of accredited instruction, not a domain registered last year.

  • A named instructor

    Every course is built and overseen by Mike Long, the same instructor who has taught thousands of students in person across Southern California. Most online cert sites won't name their instructor. We put ours on the About page.

  • Verifiable certificate

    Every certificate can be checked against our training records. No untraceable PDFs. Verify a certificate or view a sample before you enroll.

  • Honest guidance

    We'll tell you if online isn't the right fit for your job. Healthcare BLS, California EMSA childcare licensing, and OSHA-regulated workplaces typically need a hands-on skills check. We teach those in person through our parent brand.

  2. Complete the course online. Self-paced video lessons on any device. Pause and resume anytime.

Frequently asked questions

How do I renew my CPR certification online?

Enroll, complete the self-paced course (about an hour), pass the checkpoint quizzes, and download your new certificate immediately. It is valid for two years from your completion date.

Are there quizzes during the course?

Yes. Because this is a CPR course, it has short 5-question checkpoint quizzes along the way, and you need 100% on each one to move forward. You can retry as many times as you need, and your certificate downloads the moment you finish.

Is renewal different from getting certified the first time?

The certificate is the same and so is the course. CPR guidelines are updated over time, so recertification runs the full current curriculum rather than a shortened refresher. Most renewing students move through it quickly because the material is familiar.

My certification expired years ago. Can I still renew online?

Yes. There is no penalty window. You take the same course and get a current two-year certificate regardless of when your old one expired.

Can I renew a BLS or EMSA card online?

No. Healthcare BLS and California EMSA childcare cards require in-person skills testing to renew, the same as they did to earn. Our parent brand A-B-CPR runs BLS renewal classes in Southern California.

Do I need to renew with the same provider I certified with?

No. You can recertify with any provider your employer accepts. If your role accepts a fully-online certificate, you can renew here regardless of where you first certified.
