Hello,
I just joined today after completing online BLS/ACLS at NHCPS.com. I would like to know if they are legitimate, and if I can perform the procedures I was taught.
Thank you,
Theodore
Some organizations only accept AHA/ARC(specifically to avoid having to deal with these pretend certification courses).
Until you are properly credentialed and actively working for a licensed service, you are at best a first responder(and right now not even that). CPR, the most basic of first aid, and dialing 911. That's your skill set right now. Anything beyond that is going to land you in hot water.
Acceptable CPR cards are as follows: American Heart Association, American Red Cross, ASHI, and AAOS/ESCI. Additionally, ANY CPR certification that is done completely online WILL NOT be acceptable.
