What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an emergency procedure consisting of chest compressions often combined with artificial ventilation in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest.

Are CPR courses AHA accredited?

The American Heart Association communicates guidance on CPR training programs based on the protocols and recommendations developed by ILCOR. This means that the AHA Guidelines are ILCOR’s guidelines. The AHA simply re-publishes them.


CPR training organizations then develop educational programs and systems around the AHA guidelines. These training groups include ProTrainings, The American Red Cross (ARC), the American Safety & Health Institute (ASHI), and the training arm of American Heart Association, and others.

The American Heart Association does not accredit CPR courses but solely produces guidelines for the creation of CPR courses. Only AHA courses are AHA accredited. MedTrainer courses follow the guidelines and are created by ProTrainings.
