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?

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.
