❌️THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE AHA!!!❌️

Some CPR training certifications are considered scams or not valid for the following key reasons:

1. Not Recognized by Employers or Regulatory Bodies

Most healthcare facilities and companies require CPR certification from reputable organizations like the American Heart Association (AHA), American Red Cross (ARC), or American Safety and Health Institute (ASHI).

Certifications from unknown or unaccredited providers often don’t meet OSHA, state, or job-specific requirements, making them non-acceptable.

2. No Hands-On Skills Check

Real CPR certification usually involves a skills check with an instructor.

Scam sites often offer 100% online courses with no live instruction or practical exam, which is not valid for healthcare professionals or most job roles.

3. No Accreditation or Oversight

Many shady providers operate without national accreditation or oversight from respected medical or educational institutions.

They may claim to be “nationally accepted,” but that's often just a marketing trick.

4. Fake or Misleading Claims

Some websites falsely claim to be “endorsed” by hospitals, schools, or even the AHA.

These companies sell printable certificates for a fee, but they are not backed by any recognized organization.

5. Quick and Easy with No Standards

If a course promises CPR certification in 10 minutes for $10 without any testing or instruction, it's likely a cash grab, not real education.

How to Avoid Scams:

Look for affiliation with AHA, ARC, or ASHI.

Check if a skills session is required (especially for BLS or healthcare providers).

Verify acceptance with your employer or licensing board before enrolling.

Avoid sites with poor grammar, lack of instructor credentials, or no customer service contact.

If you're running a CPR training business (CPR OF NWA), staying aligned with AHA standards ensures credibility and client trust.

The AHA recommends using abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) as the primary method to relieve choking.

If the person is unable to cough, speak, or breathe, you should:

1. Stand or kneel behind the person.

2. Place your fist just above their navel.

3. Grasp your fist with your other hand.

4. Deliver quick, upward thrusts.

5. Continue until the object is expelled or the person becomes unresponsive.

If the person becomes unresponsive:

Begin CPR immediately and check the mouth for the object between compressions and breaths.

The AHA states there is no mandatory minimum age to learn CPR or take a course—what truly matters is body strength and skill competence, not age.

Research shows children as young as 9 years old can learn and retain CPR skills effectively.

In fact, educational initiatives begin training CPR awareness for children as young as 4, focusing on recognizing emergencies and calling 911; by age 10 they can perform chest compressions on manikins.

Knowing what skills are required during infant respiratory emergencies is vital:

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), the most common critical situation in infants (under 1 year of age) is respiratory problems leading to cardiac arrest.

Respiratory emergencies (such as airway obstruction, choking, drowning, or respiratory infections) are the most frequent causes of cardiac arrest in infants.
