Who needs to take a CPR/AED class?

CPR/AED certification is required for lifeguards and is commonly required for professionals responsible for the safety and care of others. Whether working at a pool, summer camp, school, fitness center, or childcare facility, having CPR/AED certification demonstrates the ability to respond quickly and effectively during life-threatening emergencies. This training helps participants recognize cardiac and breathing emergencies, use an AED correctly, and provide immediate care until emergency medical services arrive. It is an essential qualification for:

  • Real dates and locations near you
  • Current pricing per class, not an estimate
  • Filter by in-person, blended, or online format

For a full breakdown of what the certification covers and how long it lasts, see our CPR/AED course guide.

Choosing A Class Format

CPR/AED classes are offered as fully in-person, blended (online lecture plus an in-person skills check), or online-only depending on whether your employer requires a hands-on skills test.

If you are not sure which format your employer requires, confirm before booking, some workplace requirements only accept a class that includes an in-person skills check.
