Has anyone ever taken these types of courses online? Do they count?
Just curious...I have both coming due soon and am already loaded down with other workshops/classes.

I go to the Red Cross site, take my test, en schedule the dummy part only in person. It saves a LOT of time. But other than that, I don't know of online.Has anyone ever taken these types of courses online? Do they count?

It's my understanding you HAVE to do the dummy part in person for it to count.

My state only counts AHA or ARC. I did the AHA course online and the instructor came to my house to do the skills check during nap one day. I don't think you can get much easier than that

A friend in IL took it and then after the fact found it did not count. HERE we can take it but then have to go take a hands on test at the red cross.. check with your license rep

Same thing happened to me. It has been about 4 years now, so things may be different, but we have to take them in person.A friend in IL took it and then after the fact found it did not count. HERE we can take it but then have to go take a hands on test at the red cross.. check with your license rep

I took the blended course and it was WAY easier and took less time by doing all the online course work and test, then do hands on in the classroom. It took just an hour and then I was outta there. I believe the hands on is a must in most states. If in doubt, check with your licensor -- if your licensed. If not licensed, I really do feel it's important to do the hands on to get a feel for what it will be like anyway.

I can do first aide online, but I have to have the CPR done in person - to practice on a dummy and have an instructor make sure I'm doing it correctly - to have it count in my state.
