Why CPR Certification Needs a Refresh Every Two Years

(Reading Time: 2-3 minutes)

Welcome to CPR Training Clinic Nashville, where we’re passionate about saving lives, one chest compression at a time! If you’ve ever wondered why CPR certification expires every two years, here’s the scoop—with a dash of humor.

  1. CPR Guidelines Change (Yes, Really!)

The American Heart Association (AHA) updates CPR guidelines based on new research. Compression depth, rate, or AED steps might change. Staying certified ensures you’re using the latest life-saving techniques.

  1. Skills Fade Fast

Unless you’re a healthcare pro, you’re probably not practicing CPR daily. Studies show skills decline within months. Re-certification keeps you sharp and ready to act.

  1. It’s About Saving Lives

When someone collapses, they’re counting on you. Re-certifying every two years ensures you’re confident and competent—because freezing up isn’t an option.

  1. Technology Evolves

AEDs are smarter and more common, but they’re useless if you don’t know how to use them. Re-certification keeps you up-to-date on the latest tech.
