Considerations When Chose a CPR Training Provider

It may be tempting to just go with whatever Carolinian training is the cheapest, however, like everything else, you get what you pay for. Keep the following in mind as you make your decision.

• Ensure the training option aligns with both your job’s and state’s requirements. Most jobs mandate hands-on skills training, and some also require AED training or national certification. A common mistake is choosing the wrong course. Unsure about what class you need? Find out here or contact us or reach out to us for guidance.
• Consider the reputation and quality of the training provider. Some may offer lower prices, but quality can vary.
• Check the format of the training. Online courses are often more affordable, but if they lack an in-person skills assessment, so they don’t meet the job’s requirements.
• Verify the certification level. If your job requires AED training in addition to CPR and First Aid, this could increase the cost.
• Does the provider assist with certification management? We’re always available to help you retrieve a lost certificate or issue a new one if you change jobs, as long as it’s still valid.
