Compare Your Options: Course Completion Certification vs. CME-Accredited Certification
Why should you purchase the full certification?
While our free courses provide valuable knowledge and a course completion certificate, the full certification offers additional benefits, particularly for professionals who require official documentation for their careers. If you need a provider card for work, licensing, or professional development, upgrading to the full certification is essential.
Advantages of the full certification:
- Recognized Provider Card – Many employers and organizations require a recognized provider card as proof of competency in life-saving skills.
- CME Credits – Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits are required for many health care professionals to maintain licensure and stay current with industry standards.
- Enhanced Credentials – A full certification strengthens your resume and professional credibility, demonstrating your commitment to maintaining up-to-date training.

The idea behind the Save a Life Initiative is simple. Take the same advanced life-saving training we developed for physicians, and give it to the underserved, at home and abroad at no cost. We work in conjunction with the Disque Foundation to fulfill its mission of advancing health care education to the underserved through advanced technology. When we put the knowledge, skills, and ability to perform CPR and other proven techniques in the hands of people around the world, the potential number of lives saved is almost overwhelming.
