From business ethics to workplace safety and more, online training makes it easy to ensure all workers get access to the information and training they need, <em>when they need it<\/em> \u2014 including CPR training and certification.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, how do you know if this option can work for your team?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The ABCs of 100% Online CPR Training<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before deciding whether or not 100% online CPR training can work for you, let\u2019s first look at what 100% online CPR training means. In its most basic form, this option gives your staff 24\/7 access to recorded video courses that provide step-by-step instructions on how to perform CPR.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the course is a recorded video, people can truly learn at their own pace, even stopping and replaying portions they would like to review again. After completing the course, they simply take a test to show their competence and assuming they pass, receive their CPR certification card. There is no \u201chands-on\u201d evaluation with a manikin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Compliance Factor<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Regulatory agencies like the Occupational Safety and Health Organization (OSHA) or state licensing boards may mandate that your staff complete a hands-on CPR evaluation with a manikin in addition to the course. In this case, the 100% online course is not sufficient, but online training can still be a part of your solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some regulatory agencies will allow you to put staff through the online CPR course and then complete hands-on evaluations. This is typically done in one of two ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Your staff participate in live webcam sessions with certified instructors who walk them through the hands-on evaluation.<\/li><li>One or more of your staff are trained to provide hands-on evaluations to their coworkers.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.protrainings.com\/acceptance\/cpr_approvals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">check your industry\u2019s CPR requirements online<\/a> to determine what level of training you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Choice Factor<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have the freedom to choose a 100% online CPR training program, you can enjoy the same high-quality training \u2014 fully compliant with American Heart Association guidelines \u2014 with less cost and administrative overhead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also ensure that all staff members get certified or recertify when needed, not just when you happen to be able to schedule an onsite course. This can prevent certification lapses that may create compliance risks. The online portal also readily accommodates teams spread out across multiple locations or groups that see frequent turnover in staff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Find Your Ideal Group CPR Training Program<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.procpr.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online CPR training program<\/a> offers many benefits to the right organization. And with the most recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.procpr.org\/blog\/training\/2020-cpr-guidelines-updates-from-the-american-heart-association\">AHA CPR guideline updates<\/a> recommending the use of online CPR training, you can feel more secure than ever in adopting this approach with your team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Online training or \u201ce-learning\u201d in the workplace gives your organization the opportunity to train staff on a wide range of essential topics.
