CPR Certification, Cincinnati

Most Commonly Asked Questions Answered.

Q: Is CPR Cincinnati an American Heart Association training site?

A: Yes! We are 100% certified to offer all AHA classes and provide each successful student with a 2 year American Heart Association wallet card certificate.

*CAUTION: Beware of online companies that provide CPR, BLS, ACLS and PALS cards entirely online. The American Heart Association DOES NOT approve any course that is completed entirely online. At the very least, everyone must perform an in-person skills check by an approved AHA training site.

Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)
ACLS is an advanced American Heart Association course for specialized health care providers such as surgeons, emergency medical physicians and nurses, paramedics, respiratory therapists, and other medical professionals who must perform in life threatening and critical situations. The ACLS renewal course averages around six hours to complete and culminates in the successful student receiving a 2 year ACLS provider card immediately after class. For those who have never been certified our ONE-DAY ACLS class is an ideal choice over the usual 2 day course offered at most training sites. Mastering knowledge and exhibiting skills such as managing airways, initiating IV’s, reading ECG’s, and understanding emergency pharmacology is required for course success.

Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)
PALS is an advanced life support course revolving around a pediatric crisis. Just as with ACLS registrants can take the renewal or ONE-DAY 1st time certification course. Specialized nurses, physicians, paramedics, and all other healthcare providers who must develop and enhance their pediatric assessment skills need to be PALS certified. You will learn and practice identifying the onset of shock, as well as respiratory and cardiovascular emergencies in children and infants.
