NCPRF Disclaimer: Please Be Advised
Please read this Disclaimer before purchasing, completing, or relying on a National CPR Foundation (NCPRF) course or certification.
- Online Training and Certification
NCPRF provides online CPR, first-aid, bloodborne-pathogens, and related workplace training, administers examinations, and issues and verifies NCPRF certifications. NCPRF certifications are issued upon successful completion of the applicable course and examination. NCPRF does not issue cards for other providers, and official NCPRF cards display the NCPRF logo.
- Requirements and Responsibilities
Requirements may vary according to the intended use and the organization making the determination, and a hands-on component may be required for certain workplaces or situations.
Employers and other responsible organizations are responsible for identifying and communicating their requirements, determining whether an NCPRF course or certification satisfies those requirements, and arranging any other training or steps they require. For workplace use, employers remain responsible for identifying and satisfying any applicable federal OSHA or OSHA-approved State Plan requirements for their workplaces and employees’ assigned duties.
Purchasers and users, including employees, are responsible for reviewing the applicable course description, selecting and completing the course for their intended use, providing accurate information, following applicable employer instructions, and confirming any other requirements before purchase or reliance.
NCPRF does not establish external or third-party requirements or control third-party determinations.
- Training Scope and Emergencies
NCPRF courses provide standardized, self-directed, and self-paced online training based on recommendations from American Heart Association (AHA®) guidelines for CPR and emergency cardiovascular care (ECC) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines. We do not provide individualized medical advice or real-time emergency services.
- Independence and Terms
NCPRF independently provides and issues its own courses and certifications and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the AHA® or OSHA. This Disclaimer supplements our Terms and Conditions.
