No, CPR certification online is not valid. At Blueguard ME, we are firm believers that CPR must be demonstrated and practiced in person in order to effectively be recognized as a first aider. Learning the theory part of cardiopulmonary resuscitation online is beneficial, however only practicing it physically in-person and going through an in-person assessment with your teacher will give you a valid certification.
