We live in a day and age when fake CPR certification cards are a thing. For some people they don’t care about having a certification because they just want to learn a new skillset. However, for other people needing certification for their employment or medical license it matters. Our ethics should also lead us to supporting business practices offering a product with integrity as well. Let’s make sure you get what you need when you take a CPR class and make sure you get what you pay for!

There’s a few reasons. The most common reason is because there is a cost associated with certifications accredited by the American Heart Association. The AHA charges instructors a fee for each card issued.Another reason people give out certifications that aren’t recognized is because it’s an easy way to make money online. Usually, these certifications are ‘online only’ classes and cost very little money. They will make promises that they will give you your money back if your employer doesn’t take your certification but in reality, it’s a hassle to meet their requirements for a refund and not worth getting the nominal amount back.

The Organizations can not regulate all CPR training in the world. Anyone can pop up online and offer CPR courses and give out name brand of certifications. These certifications won’t be recognized by employers and students will end up finding a legitimate AHA class hopefully.

However, for instructors that teach American Heart Association classes and use AHA curriculum- legitimate AHA eCards must be issued. The AHA has taken many instructors to court and slapped suits on people in copyright violation of using the curriculum without processing adequate certification for the students taught.

Hopefully you didn’t get here because you googled ‘how to make a fake cpr certification’ but we know some of you probably did. Life gets busy and it’s easy to forget that your CPR certification is expiring. In fact, you may need it right now so you can go to work today. Your best option is to let your employer know your certification has lapsed and get in a class as soon as possible. In most places you can find one within a day or two. You may need to consider traveling to a larger city if there aren’t any available in your town.

Under no circumstances should you fake a CPR certificate or find a printable CPR certificate online. The consequences of this can be more than disastrous. There are handfuls of stories of people who have done this and then are found liable in the event of a patients death. You can lose your medical license and be banned from some industries for this. Missing a day or two of work or income is much better than losing your career and possibly experiencing jail time.

Now, let’s say you needed to take an AHA certification course and you accidentally took one of these knock off classes. It’s possible your employer may unknowingly accept it. However, most states have laws that make it the individuals responsibility to certify they met requirements to maintain their medical license. If your CPR certification is found to be illegitimate, you will be the one held responsible not just your employer.
