Keep Your CPR Skills Current on Your Schedule

CPR of Richmond KY provides Heartsaver CPR AED Online, a self-paced renewal course designed for employees, volunteers, and caregivers who hold prior certification and must meet workplace, OSHA, or personal compliance requirements. You complete the training at home or during breaks, reviewing the same core content taught in the classroom without attending a full in-person session. This format suits your schedule when rotating shifts, travel, or family responsibilities make it hard to commit to a fixed class time.

The course covers high-quality adult CPR, effective breathing with barrier devices, AED operation, and choking relief. You work through single-rescuer and team response scenarios, reinforcing the steps required to recognize cardiac arrest, start compressions within seconds, and use an automated external defibrillator before EMS personnel arrive. Optional add-ons for child and infant CPR and choking let you expand your certification if your job or volunteer role involves children, infants, or family care situations.

CPR of Richmond KY offers quick access to the online platform so you can complete your renewal and submit proof of certification to your employer or licensing board.

What the Online CPR AED Course Includes

You review how to check for responsiveness, activate emergency services, deliver chest compressions at the correct rate and depth, and coordinate rescue breaths using a pocket mask or face shield. The program reinforces proper hand placement, compression-to-breath ratios, and the sequence for attaching and operating an AED. You also learn how to clear an airway obstruction in a conscious or unconscious adult and recognize when to stop CPR or transfer care to arriving paramedics.

When you finish, you can perform uninterrupted compressions during a cardiac emergency, use an AED to deliver a shock safely, and provide ventilations that move enough air to support circulation. Your supervisor receives documentation showing you have refreshed the response skills required to act during the minutes that determine survival rates and neurological outcomes.

The entire program is delivered online, so you complete it wherever you have internet access. If your employer or regulatory agency requires an in-person skills evaluation, CPR of Richmond KY can arrange a brief session to verify compressions, AED use, and ventilation technique on a training manikin. Certification cards are issued once all assessments are complete and recorded through the American Heart Association database.
