Online vs. In-Person CPR Class: What’s Right for You?
Online CPR training, often called blended learning, lets you complete the American Heart Association’s HeartCode modules at your own pace. After finishing the online portion, you attend a short, in-person skills check to demonstrate hands-on proficiency. This flexible format works well for busy professionals, experienced providers, or anyone who needs a quick path to certification. Best of all, you earn the same nationally recognized AHA certification as in-person students.
In-person CPR classes, by contrast, deliver a fully guided, hands-on experience from start to finish. Certified instructors lead the training, provide immediate feedback, and ensure you practice every skill until you feel confident. This format benefits first-time learners, healthcare students, or anyone who prefers real-time interaction. In-person training also works well for group or workplace certifications where teamwork matters.
If you value flexibility and self-paced learning, the online plus skills check format may be your best fit. If you’re new to CPR or want a more interactive classroom setting, in-person training may better support your learning. Both formats follow the latest AHA 2020 guidelines and are widely accepted by employers, hospitals, and licensing boards across Arizona.
