CPR – Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers — Hospitals, Long Term Care Facilities, and other healthcare organizations generally require healthcare providers to be CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) certified. The approximate course duration is 4.5 hours. Upon satisfactory completion of the course, the student receives a CPR Card that is valid for 2 years through the end of the month in which the card was issued. Before it expires, the holder of the CPR Card needs to attend the CPR Renewal course.
