Which CPR Certification Does a Florida CNA Need?
Most CNAs working in healthcare settings are asked to maintain BLS CPR certification for healthcare professionals rather than a basic community CPR course.
The American Heart Association BLS Provider course includes:
- High-quality CPR for adults, children, and infants
- Automated External Defibrillator (AED) use
- Rescue breathing and ventilations
- Choking response
- Single-rescuer CPR
- Two-rescuer and team CPR skills
- Hands-on skills practice and testing
Because individual employers, nursing programs, healthcare facilities, and agencies may establish their own requirements, we recommend confirming that AHA BLS Provider certification is the course your employer or school requires.

What to Expect at Your CNA CPR Class
Hands-On Classroom Training
This is real CPR training, not an online-only certification. You’ll practice CPR skills with training manikins and work directly with an instructor.
About 3–4 Hours
Most BLS classes take approximately 3 to 4 hours to complete.
American Heart Association Certification
Successful students receive an American Heart Association BLS Provider eCard, generally issued the same day or by the next business day.
Beginner Friendly
You do not need previous CPR experience. Our instructors will guide you through the skills and give you time to practice before testing.
Training You Can Actually Use
The goal isn’t simply to earn another card. We want you to leave class confident that you can recognize an emergency, begin high-quality CPR, use an AED, and work effectively with other rescuers.
