Nested’s American Red Cross CPR Certification Process

Nested’s blended American Red Cross CPR Certification class process is detailed here.

1. 1. The American Red Cross online learning portion is 1-2 hours (done at your own pace at home). NOTE: The online portion must be completed at least 2 days PRIOR to being eligible to attend the hands-on portion of the class.
   2. The Nested 2-hour in-person class includes review and hands-on practice. NOTE: ALL breathing portions of CPR practice are conducted outside due to ongoing health & safety precautions

During the 2-hour in-person portion of the course, the instructor will show how to resuscitate using CPR and an automated external defibrillator (AED) on specialized, non-responsive infant and adult CPR dolls as well as choking prevention strategies. Attendees will be able to practice techniques on the dolls and must demonstrate each technique successfully in order to obtain certification.

In order to obtain a course completion certification card, students must successfully complete the course, which includes both the online portion as well as the in-person first aid skills demonstration, a CPR and AED skills test. Upon completion, students receive an American Red Cross CPR Certification, which is valid for 2 years. This course satisfies OSHA-mandated job requirements, workplace or other regulatory requirements.

Should you choose to not complete or are unable to complete the online portion of the class, you may still attend the “hands on” in-person portion of the class to learn and practice techniques WITHOUT receiving certification.

NOTE: Refunds are NOT available for this class. Registration closes 2 weeks prior to the class date for the CPR certification classes. This provides time for the client data to be processed into the American Red Cross system, which will then auto-send the account creation & log-in details to the clients to provide plenty of time to take & successfully pass the online portion of the class.
