Common Questions

CPR Renewal — Frequently Asked Questions

AHA CPR certifications are valid for 2 years from the issue date. We recommend booking your renewal 2-4 weeks before expiration to avoid any gap in coverage. Some employers require current certification at all times, so plan ahead.

Yes, but with conditions. If your card expired within the last 30 days, you can still take a renewal course. If it has been more than 30 days, you will need to take the full initial certification class again. Check your card's expiration date and call us at (312) 761-4859 if you are unsure.

Bring your current (or recently expired) AHA CPR certification card and a valid photo ID. If you cannot find your card, bring any documentation of your certification. We can verify your certification level in our system if you trained with us previously.
