Basic Life Support certification, based on guidelines from the American Heart Association, is typically valid for two years. While some training centers allow a short grace period, many employers require your certification to be active with no exceptions.

Letting it expire could mean retaking the full course, missing work shifts, or risking compliance issues.

Fake “instant card” CPR websites are putting healthcare careers at risk.

Before you enroll, make sure your provider is officially authorized and your eCard is verifiable.
