Blended Online/Hands-on CPR Certification Option
Who needs the "Blended Course?"
- Individuals who are getting CPR certification for the first time
- Individuals who have been informed by their company or licensing administration that they must have a hands-on skill evaluation
What is the "Blended Course?"
All training and written testing is completed online at www.procpr.org or www.profirstaid.com. Skills are then evaluated in person by a registered ProCPR, LLC Facilitator or certified CPR Instructor.
How do I get started with the "Blended Course?"
It’s easy! Simply sign up online. Because you are taking the blended course, check the box that says "My certification has not lapsed more than 6 months." When you have passed the test and paid for the certification, print out the "Blended Course" packet and card. Upon successful completion of the skill evaluation, have the skill evaluator sign the back of the card.
How can I find someone to perform my skill evaluation?
Many people work with CPR Instructors. The best way is to ask a friend or acquaintance who is a currently certified instructor to perform the skill evaluation for free. You may also call your local American Heart Association, American Red Cross, Medic First Aid, or ASHI training center to find an instructor in your area. Some instructors may charge a fee to perform a skill evaluation. You can search for a ProCPR skill evaluator at www.blendedcpr.com.
How Can I become a ProCPR Faciliator?
Simply start by signing up at Blended CPR or complete the skill evaluator application and fax it back to us. The second step is to be trained or bridged from another program. Facilitator training can be completed in one day. The amount of time is completely dependent upon the participant. ProCPR facilitator training is for people who need to perform skill evaluations for a business, daycare, ambulance department, fire hall, hospital, nursing staff, etc. This allows a facility or organization to provide consistent, high quality training in-house, saving time and money. This training is NOT for someone who desires to be a CPR or First Aid instructor to conduct traditional 4-8 hour classroom instruction.
Prerequisites:- A current CPR and/or First Aid certification from ProFirstAid, ProCPR, or a recognized organization up to the level he or she will be evaluating.
- A demonstrated need to coordinate training for others.
- Preferably (not required), a current certified CPR and/or First Aid Instructor with a recognized organization.
- Preferably (not required), a person with prior medical training who has used CPR and First Aid in real-life situations.
