VIRTUAL CPR CERTIFICATION & TRAINING
What is virtual CPR training? Virtual CPR training provides the convenience of earning a legitimate and accredited CPR certification from your own home or office using online learning and videoconferencing technologies. First, you will learn the core educational content by completing an online course at your own pace. Then you will participate in an interactive session with an instructor via videoconferencing for your CPR skills practice and evaluation. You'll use the CPR manikin and supplies that we ship to you.
✔ Accredited BLS Options
