I don't think many certs would take a CPR certification that didn't involve a live skills test. I went with the Red Cross.
so basically take it in a classroom rather than an online certification?
the american heart association is the leading authority in cpr/aed cert and training. i would go with them.

Look at the EMS services in your area,it's usually required training for them.Hospitals,Red Cross,and maybe some independant individuals who teach classes.Cost can range from free to a expense.

Yes, online CPR certs aren't accepted most of the time.
Sometimes your place of employment will pay for your registration fees, especially if you're already in the fitness field. You could look into that first.

Agreed. While this thread is old, anyone else that spots this might also watch for some of the AED providers providing training in their area or sometimes cities.

More like a 'group' class, not really a classroom per se.

Ronin4help, it sounds like you took a course--what organization did you go through and how was it?
