“Lived up to its name!”

It was convenient, affordable and incredibly simple to renew my certification. Would HIGHLY recommend this to my colleagues!

Top Critical Review

“CAUTION: Claims that their certification is valid in Canada”

Chris S.
3/13/24

CAUTION: Their website claims that their training is accepted in all Canadian Provinces. Okay, by WHO? Not by regulators in Ontario. See link: https://www.wsib.ca/en/providers-approved-deliver-emergency-and-standard-first-aid Nor, by any other Ministries of Labour in Canada that govern first aid certification for the workplace. Don't believe me... look it up in your own province. Buyer beware!

The course was quick, and easy. Although, I found some information in the section about choking outdated, which makes me wonder if my company will accept the course or not. The tests, also aren't changed up. You could basically just repeat the same test over and over again, guessing until you find the right answer. They definitely should have a mix of up tests to check you were paying attention. Will update if my company doesn't accept, or any additional charges that others have mentioned appear.

It was a good course, being a nurse for 30 yrs not much has changed. It was quick and easy. However if you are a healthcare provider, do not waste your time or money taking this course as my employer would not except this. Because I work at a hospital which they do provide CPR training but because of a vacation I'm going on , dates and times did not work. So, it is not a Red Cross, or Heart association approved program and it must be for my hospital to except.

This course is definitely quick and straight to the point. I felt that it needed a module on bandages, dressings, and eye care. This should be added. Be sure as well that this certificate is acceptable at your place of employment especially if you live in another country because though it is accepted world wide as they say, it is not accepted by every one.

I wanted to sit down, pay and get this done; I work in a group home. The form would not accept the Chrome Auto fill. I had to contact your support desk and fiddle around with filling out basic information . Finally got it right. If billing info is same as first address, it should be fine to click check mark, not have to fill it all in again. Time is of the essence.....

Overall, I found the course excellent. I was a little frustrated at first with the signing on, as explained above.

I have an extremely busy life and was so happy to find an AHA certification course that I could take online and complete in the middle of the night while my kids are sleeping with the same result of becoming certified that I have not had the time to do when it comes to trying to schedule/set aside a four hour period of the day to go in person. Thank you

Easy to apply but haven't completed course yet.
After finishing, I thought there would have been more in regards to first aid. When you take in classroom setting it takes a lot longer and more involved. But overall very good.

I work shift work as a nurse and it's extremely hard to find time to even renew something I am already knowledgeable in. SimpleCPR gave me the freedom to participate and renew my CPR/First Aid credentials online at my own pace. It was perfect! I didn't have to waste a weekend sitting in class for 4-8 hours, instead I did my recertification on my lunch break. It's my first time doing this online but it definitely won't be my last. I'll especially recommend this option to ALL my colleagues!

The course was clearly structured and easy to understand. Highly recommended. I had a minor issue with printing out my card after completion but that was just a technical complication, promptly resolved by customer service.

When I went to terms and agreement them back to my order there were a few glitches. The information was good and useful. I learned a few things I did not know before. It was not as in depth as I thought it would be. When I have taken in class recertification it took longer but provided more information on what to do in emergency situations. They talked about heart attacks, strokes, wounds, broken bones, and more. It was very efficient and convenient.

Excellent, especially as a review. I think I'd still recommend the hands on type of course for beginners; especially those in health care jobs.

I don't agree with your advice to induce vomiting in the case of swallowing a poison. My training until now has always been to call Poison Control and follow instructions but your simple direction to induce vomiting, particularly if a caustic product was ingested, may do more harm. The aid to give will depend on the poison swallowed. Right?

hello: The test was pretty easy after reading the instructions. A good special reminder to CPR not used every day.

I had to call the customer number and talked with SALLY. She was so helpful with several issues I was having. I need to redo my CPR and I have taken this course several times before, love the availability to do it on my time and not having to go to a 3 to 4 hour class. I learn something new every time I renew. Thank you for providing such a wonderful service. Thank you Sally!!!

I appreciate how up front you are about the cost. I would like to see a membership offer that gives a reduced rate in subsequent years (instead of lifetime add-on).

I was a fireman 15 years ago & worked in an ER 20 years ago so I did not really want to take a 4 or 8 hr class just to be certificated to become my wife's caretaker. I liked that I could take the Adult CPR & 1st Aid classes & the tests online. I did not have to drive someplace for the class. I did all 4 classes & 4 tests in 20 mins, then printed out my card. Very Easy.

I found it was so much easier to do the course on line in the comfort of my own home and when I had the time to do. I was ready, not stressed, had the house quiet and I just really enjoyed the experience. I felt actually that I learned better because I wasn't side tracked by others in the room or by things I should be doing. I could just focus and read and I retained it all. Sometimes a class course can be intimidating but the online experience was really nice and easy to follow directions.

Using SimpleCPR was great. Fits my lifestyle of having no extra time to attend classes so having an option like SimpleCPR is amazing. Knowing that it is internationally recognized was important to me too as I live in Canada. It was easy to use, but provided a ton of pertinent information. I did my Health Care BLS and First Aid. Thanks SimpleCPR!!

The website was easy to navigate and it explained the courses very well. There were no surprises and I loved the short but informative videos followed by the exam. It was a painless, wonderful and convenient way to receive my CPR/First Aid certification. I would highly recommend this site to friends and family. Thank you.
