  1. Don’t panic. It will be okay. Worst things have happened in your life. We will get this fixed.
  2. Remember some details. Where did you take your class? Most likely it was with the American Heart Association. BLS cards look like the ones in the photo above. Some other training providers include the American Red Cross and the American Safety and Health Institute. If you had an American Heart Association card, try to recall if you downloaded and printed it from online or if it was handed or mailed to you by your instructor.
  3. Get a replacement. If you received your card online, it was most likely an American Heart Association eCard. These can be easily reprinted by going to https://Heart.org/mycards. If your card was in print, only the issuing American Heart Association Training Center can reissue your card. If you took your class with Code One Training Solutions, you can easily order a replacement card online and it will be mailed to you in 1-2 business days. If you didn’t take your course with Code One, a listing of all AHA training centers is here.

We hope this information helps you obtain a replacement CPR card!

When you’ve already learned cardiopulmonary resuscitation, you understand the benefit of this life-saving skill. The American Heart Association promotes hands-only CPR as a skill that everyone can know and use in an emergency. But there are times when knowing CPR and being certified in this skill is necessary to save lives. Whether you use your skills professionally or you just want to be prepared for any emergency situation, CPR skills are beneficial and important. When you need to check CPR certification information, CPR Certified is ready to help. Give us a call at: 844-277-2378 and we will check to see if you are still certified.

Regardless of whether you use your CPR skills every day or you just want to maintain your certification, you may be surprised how quickly CPR recertification rolls around. In fact, if you’re not paying close attention, you could even miss crucial deadlines. In the United States, people need to recertify their skills every two years. Perhaps you don’t know how to check your CPR certification. That’s why at CPR Certified, we make sure you get all of the help you need. We recommend that people start thinking seriously about enrolling in courses with AHA-certified instructors when expiration is about six months away to make sure you have enough time to complete the requirements.

How to Do a CPR Certification Lookup

The “Find My CPR Certification” process for looking up your CPR or BLS certification will depend on the organization where you got your certification in the first place. Your training school may have an online dashboard that allows you to look up your certification; or you may have to call the school.

If you got your certification through CPR Certified, we have automatic notifications set up that will warn you when you’re getting close to your expiration date. Many online and even in-person schools have online notification programs. If you got your CPR certification through work, your workplace may also have an automatic notification system.

The Red Cross Find My Certificate page allows you to look up your certificate using your email address, name and date, or certificate ID number. The AHA has a similar Find My CPR Certification page that allows you to look up your e-card.

While courses based on the AHA and Red Cross curriculums generally expire after a two-year period, some professional requirements may be shorter than this. It’s essential to check with your employer or possibly your professional certification board to make sure you understand your CPR certification time frame.

You can also call the training center that issued your card. Most training organizations provide a phone number on the back of their card where you can call to check in, and you can do a CPR card lookup over the phone. Some also provide this information online, and may even have notifications as we do.

How To Enroll in CPR Recertification Classes

While every organization will have a slightly different format, most CPR recertification training programs aren’t as long as the original training program. You can register through your original training program, or you can use a different training program to earn your CPR recertification. There is no requirement to use the same school that you did originally.

One exception to this may be workplace requirements, however. Some employers that require CPR certification may send you a list of organizations or schools they will accept for recertification. Our recertification program is based on ACA curricula and guidelines, and is accepted by employers in all industries—including in healthcare—throughout all 50 states.

Different CPR Recertification Scenarios

There are certain scenarios where many people don’t realize that they can simply renew their CPR certification rather than going through the full CPR certification process again, which can be time-consuming.

Here are some scenarios that we get frequent customer questions about:

Do I have to recertify CPR if I move to another state?

If you got CPR certified in a country outside the United States, your CPR certification will not be valid in the US—you will have to undergo the original CPR certification process again. However, if you were certified in the US but move to a new state, your original two-year certification will stay valid.

Do I have to recertify if I got CPR certified in college, then graduated?

If you got certified at a school or college, your certification may expire after you graduate. You may not be able to go back to that school and retake that specific course, but you can renew your certification at a different organization; you don’t have to take the exact same class to renew.

Do I have to recertify if I got CPR certified at work, then left the job?

Our customers often get CPR certified as a professional requirement. If you got your CPR certification at work or through a workplace program, and then left the job, your old employer may not give you your certification. In that case, you will need to renew your certification even if it is not yet expired.

What if I Don’t Have Time to Renew My Certification in Person?

It’s not unusual for people who earned their original CPR certification in person to believe they have to recertify in person as well. That’s generally not true, although some workplaces might have requirements to this effect.

In general, you can recertify online even if you earned your original CPR certification in person. This is an especially good choice for people who need their CPR certification for work, but who work full time themselves and have difficulty carving out the time to take in-person classes.

Online CPR recertification programs tend to take less time than in-person classes, and can fit around busy work schedules. You can stop and start the class whenever you want, attend at a time that’s convenient to you, and do it all from the comfort of your home or office.

Online CPR recertification programs are also more likely to have automated email or text notifications for when your certification expires. If you know you’ll need the reminder, double check with the training organization to make sure this is something they offer.

CPR Recertification for Large Teams

If you’re coordinating CPR certification and recertification for a large workforce, our team management dashboard makes your job easy.

Upload large databases of thousands of workers at a single click; pay only for employees who use the course; set up automatic recertification reminders; and receive notifications whenever anyone completes their certification or recertification test.

Our team will work with your billing department to manage all vendor documentation and ensure regulatory paperwork is properly completed. Get in touch today to test-drive our dashboard designed for companies needing CPR certification for large groups or to get a custom quote.

How CPR Recertification Works

We know that many people don’t have the time to attend in-person classes and may be frustrated once they check CPR certification options. But don’t worry: Many people who opt to take online video classes with CPR Certified complete the coursework in as little as two hours. Once you finish reviewing the information, move directly on to the multiple-choice test. After you finish the test, we give you your results immediately. If you passed, you can print out your credentials immediately to provide them to your employer. We will mail you an official vinyl certification card within about 10 days. If you didn’t pass, you can retake the test as many times as you need until you pass.

Discover why so many professionals are convinced that CPR Certified classes are the way to certify or recertify. After we help you look up CPR certification, we’ll help you dive right into the coursework to complete it as quickly as possible. We also offer a 100 percent guarantee that both you and your employer will be happy with the credentials you earn. Call us and speak with a member of our customer service team today!
