Importance to renew CPR certification. CPR recertification is important when you would be surprised at how rapidly you may skip ways to perform CPR when you have recently passed through on-line CPR certification. The normal recommendation is that you must recertify every 2 years.
Many people have asked about how long a certain certification lasts for. The two main providers, the Red Cross and the Lifesaving Society, have some different courses with different certificates. Standard First Aid and Emergency First Aid are valid for two years under the Lifesaving Society and three years under the Red Cross. CPR courses are valid for three years by the Red Cross and two years by the Lifesaving Society. However, annual recertification is recommended by both providers. The Lifesaving Society offers two AED courses, AED responder and AED provider, both of which are valid for two years.
