With many businesses closing or shifting the way they do things, it’s hard to imagine a safe, socially-distanced way to get CPR-certified. Good news is there’s a way to do it online — digitally, whenever you want, and safely. If you’re thinking about brushing up on your CPR skills or you’re hoping to become a lifeguard, read on to learn how to get CPR-certified online.
