CPR Certification & Training
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure that can help save a person's life if their breathing or heart stops. Because important, hands-on skills are needed to effectively perform CPR, ACE requires that any CPR course taught online must INCLUDE a hands-on skills check. However, the hands-on skills check may take place either in-person or virtually. Both formats are effective in demonstrating skills, and both are accepted by ACE.
