Pros and cons

Pros

  • The exam fee is included, so the $24.99 CPR course price covers the test as well as the course.
  • The certificate renews every 2 years, so the next purchase is a repeat of a known price rather than a surprise.
  • Delivery is online, so the whole course fits around work and travel.
  • Support runs through help centre, which handles questions about the certificate and the test.
  • The provider has run since 2013 from US, so it is an established name in a single market.

Cons

  • The $24.99 CPR course price is above the entry fee at National CPR Foundation, $12.95, and at ACLS Now, $14.95.
  • There is no practicum, so anyone who needs supervised compressions practice has to look for it elsewhere.
  • Support runs on help centre only, with no live channel listed for urgent questions.
  • Price from places it 13 of 87 brands compared, which is mid-table on cost.

Who it suits

  • Adults who need a CPR card for work and prefer a course that runs online, with no session to attend.
  • People who would rather pay once for the test, since the exam fee is included in the course price.
  • Learners already comfortable with CPR skills, because a practicum is not part of what the course covers.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Learners watching every dollar, since National CPR Foundation charges $12.95 and ACLS Now charges $14.95.
  • Anyone who needs supervised practice on compressions, because a practicum is not part of this course. American BLS is also worth a look in this group.

What it does well

The course is built around the test rather than around skills practice. The exam fee is included, so the course price covers the assessment as well as the material, and there is no separate charge to budget for when you sit the test. The certificate runs on a 2 year renewal cycle, which fixes how often you buy again and makes the running cost easy to plan around. Set against that, the practicum is not part of the course, so the credential suits people who already work with compressions and breaths and mainly need the card to stay current. It is a thinner package than a classroom course, so read the renewal terms before you commit.

Who runs it

CPR Test Center is a US operation, with its headquarters recorded in the United States, and it has been running since 2013. That age matters for a CPR credential, because employers and professional bodies tend to recognise a card from a provider with a visible history in a single market rather than one that appeared recently. Support runs through help centre, which is a self-serve route and suits straightforward questions about the course and the certificate. The trade-off is escalation: with that channel alone listed, anything unusual is worth settling before you enrol, since there is no named second route for it.

How CPR Test Center compares

Frequently asked questions

How much does the CPR course cost?+

CPR Test Center lists CPR course fees of $24.99, and that price covers the test as well, because the exam fee is included. For comparison, National CPR Foundation charges $12.95 and American BLS charges $14.95, so a straight sticker price comparison goes to either of them.

How often does the certificate need renewing?+

The certificate is valid for 2 years before renewal, so a single purchase becomes a recurring cost. Because the exam fee is included each time you sit the test, staying current is a single charge rather than a course fee with a separate assessment on top.

Is there a practicum or supervised practice?+

There is no practicum on this course. That suits people who want the credential and already work with compressions and breaths, and it means nothing has to be booked or attended. If an employer or a professional body asks for supervised practice, this route does not cover that part, and the practical hours have to come from elsewhere.

Is the course fully online?+

Delivery is online only, with no classroom option listed, so study fits around shift work and travel. Everything happens on your own screen, and the exam fee is included, so the only thing left to arrange is your own revision time before the test.

Where is the provider based and how long has it run?+

The provider is based in the United States and has been running since 2013. A US base and a longer operating history help if your employer wants a credential from an established provider in a known market. Age on its own says little about course quality, so weigh it against the price and the renewal cycle.

How do I get help with a question?+

Support runs through help centre, so a self-serve help centre is the route for questions about the course, the certificate and the test. No other channel is listed, which means an urgent question is better settled before you enrol than after. The renewal cycle of 2 years gives you a natural point to raise it with them.

How does it compare with the other CPR options on price?+

The other providers in this group are National CPR Foundation at $12.95, ACLS Now at $14.95 and American BLS at $14.95. All three sit below the $24.99 CPR course price here, so the decision turns on what sits around the certificate rather than the entry fee alone.

How much study time do CPR courses take?+

The median course length across this category is 4 hours, with the shortest at 3 hours and the longest at 4 hours. The exam fee is included, so the money side of a session like this is settled in a single payment.
