Compare Your Options: Course Completion Certification vs. CME-Accredited Certification

Why should you purchase the full certification?

While our free courses provide valuable knowledge and a course completion certificate, the full certification offers additional benefits, particularly for professionals who require official documentation for their careers. If you need a provider card for work, licensing, or professional development, upgrading to the full certification is essential.

Advantages of the full certification:

  • Recognized Provider Card – Many employers and organizations require a recognized provider card as proof of competency in life-saving skills.
  • CME Credits – Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits are required for many health care professionals to maintain licensure and stay current with industry standards.
  • Enhanced Credentials – A full certification strengthens your resume and professional credibility, demonstrating your commitment to maintaining up-to-date training.
