CPR/First Aid
Has anyone done CPR or First Aid online classes? I found a site that goes through all the videos and you get a test and then can print out a card for $30, but not sure if it's acceptable.

I did and my state accepted it. It was through International CPR Institute. I think we're allowed to do it online once, not sure. Check with your state regs. and see. IIRC I had to submit copy of my CPR card to the state to verify that I'd done it.

You pay for the online class also the instructor too. But it does save time. |

The organization doing your training (AHA/ Red Cross) should have a list online of places that do both full trainings and online skills checkoffs. If they don't call your local hospital. Chances are they are a training center.

I am not sure what area you are in, but there is a woman who will come to your home. I do not know if you are on Facebook or not, but she is on Facebook. She will travel for a group. Usually a provider in an area will host and other providers go there. She does first aid as well and is an awesome instructor!

If I do onsite classes or "need it now" 1 on 1 it's $60. Then I do Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid with CPR & AED. |

I looked into the online class that op was asking about and that was the cheapest. Plus I would be able to take my kids to the hands on portion and they said it would be less than an hour. This is the website says about the class Infant CPR/First Aid This life-saving course teaches first aid, child CPR and how to help a chocking infant or child. This class is recommended for parents, family and anyone caring for infants or children. NOTE: This is NOT a certification class. |

I contacted the instructor again because I'm about to send in all of my documents to renew my license. She again said that she gets multiple daycare providers that have not had any issue with the state for the card. If I do find someone in licensing that does not agree, then I can have it certified for $17 more and it will be fine, but she's nearly certain I shouldn't have any problem. I really don't know why they wouldn't accept it since everything they covered in the class was everythign I've learned in other classes.
