ProTrainings CPR Approvals
Learn all about how CPR certification approvals work, who determines if a program is approved, and what that means for you and your professional requirements.
How Do CPR Approvals Work?
CPR Certification Acceptance
While not as rigorous as the approval process, most organizations look for a few key educational standards to be met and accept certifications rather than developing a formal approval process.
Obtaining Organizational Approval
ProTrainings has worked directly with organizations such as the US Coast Guard, the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), and many others to obtain specific approval for professionals overseen by these organizations so that their professionals can complete their CPR certification via an online or blended program with ProTrainings.

Is this CPR certification approved by the American Heart Association?

Can I use ProCPR for my job?
Probably, but we recommend checking with your employer first to be sure. We have written an introduction letter you can download and send to your employer to help explain our course and its acceptance.
How many tries do I get to pass the CPR test?
After watching the training videos, you should do just fine on the test. That said, you may retake the CPR test as many times as you need to pass it at no additional cost. The test questions change each time, making no two tests identical.
