Renew Your Certification Without Returning to Class

CPR of Richmond KY offers Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED Online, a self-paced renewal course built for healthcare workers, educators, and employees who hold prior certification and need to maintain compliance with workplace or OSHA standards. You complete the training on your own schedule, covering the same core material as the classroom version without the need to attend a full in-person session. This option fits your workday when back-to-back meetings and shift work make it difficult to sit through a multi-hour class in one block.

The course reviews first aid basics, CPR techniques, AED operation, and emergency response procedures so you can recognize and manage medical, injury, and environmental situations until paramedics arrive. You work through training on heart attack, stroke, choking, bleeding control, burns, and the use of an epinephrine pen, with optional add-ons for child CPR AED and choking if your role involves supervising children. The format allows you to pause, return, and review modules as many times as needed before completing the final assessment.

CPR of Richmond KY makes it easy to complete your renewal online and maintain the documentation your employer expects.

What You Cover During the Online Renewal

You review how to assess a scene, check for responsiveness, call for emergency assistance, and deliver chest compressions at the correct depth and rate. The course reinforces how to use an AED, deliver rescue breaths with a barrier device, and respond to choking in adults. You also revisit care for wounds, fractures, burns, and medical emergencies such as allergic reactions, heat exhaustion, and diabetic crises.

When you finish, you understand how to perform high-quality CPR in both single-rescuer and team scenarios, apply direct pressure to control bleeding, and recognize the signs of shock or cardiac arrest before conditions worsen. Your employer receives proof that you have refreshed the skills required to respond during the critical minutes before EMS personnel take over.

The program is delivered entirely online, so you complete it from home, during a lunch break, or between shifts. If your workplace requires in-person skills verification, CPR of Richmond KY can coordinate a brief evaluation session after you finish the digital coursework. Certification cards are issued once all requirements are met and recorded through the American Heart Association system.
