A CPR Verification Station is a hands-on training station where you practice and verify the CPR skills required for your AHA course after completing the online learning portion. Work through your coursework at your own pace, then visit the station to practice CPR on a feedback-enabled manikin and receive real-time guidance.
CPR Verification Stations use Voice-Assisted Manikins to provide real-time feedback while you perform CPR skills. The manikin guides you through the required steps and provides feedback on areas such as compression depth, rate, recoil, and hand position.
No stress. No risk. Just a clear, simple path to earning your certification.
We rent CPR verification stations and set them up directly at your workplace, so your staff can complete the hands-on skills portion of their AHA certification on site. Employees test at times that fit their shifts, with no set class times and no trips offsite, which keeps downtime for your business to a minimum.

Yes. Same Day CPR offers a streamlined certification process that allows you to complete your required online coursework, attend a hands-on skills session, and receive your official AHA Course Completion eCard the same day after successfully completing the requirements. Availability depends on the course and location you select.
The main difference between BLS (Basic Life Support) certification and CPR certification is the level of training and intended audience. CPR certification focuses on essential life-saving skills, while BLS certification provides more comprehensive training in CPR and emergency response, particularly for healthcare professionals.
Many healthcare professionals are required to complete American Heart Association BLS certification, while professionals who manage advanced cardiovascular or pediatric emergencies may need ACLS or PALS. Nurses, physicians, medical assistants, EMTs, dentists, and other healthcare workers should check their employer or licensing requirements to determine which AHA course they need.
