When deciding between online and classroom CPR training, it’s important to consider your learning style, schedule, and certification goals. Online CPR courses offer the convenience of completing the theory portion at your own pace from anywhere, making them ideal for busy professionals such as nurses, teachers, and emergency responders. These courses typically include a brief in-person skills session to practice hands-on techniques like high-quality CPR, AED use, and rescue breaths, ensuring you meet American Heart Association (AHA) certification requirements.
Classroom CPR training, on the other hand, provides direct interaction with certified instructors, immediate feedback, and group practice sessions, which many learners find beneficial for mastering life-saving skills. Both online and classroom formats offer AHA-certified Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) certifications recognized nationwide by hospitals, clinics, employers, and licensing boards.
Whether you prefer the flexibility of online learning or the engagement of a classroom environment, accredited providers across Illinois cities like Rockford, Chicago, Gurnee, and Mount Prospect ensure you receive current, evidence-based CPR training that meets your specific needs.
In Illinois, CPR fees vary based on course type and format.
