Hi Margaret. This certification is through the International CPR Institute. If we were to give a live class locally, we could issue their cards since our instructors are AHA, Red Cross, or National Safety Council certified, but since the course is taken 100% online, we have to issue our own cards. No course that's 100% online can issue their cards, no matter what they say on their website. With that being said, some licensing agencies or facilities will accept a fully online course but they are the only ones who would be able to give you a definite answer. Thank you!
