CERTIFICATION TYPES
ABOUT
Whether you need CPR certification for your job, to meet school requirements, or for personal preparedness, Wisconsin has accredited training centers offering American Red Cross, American Heart Association, and ASHI classes. Most classes include hands-on skills practice and take between 2–6 hours to complete. Certifications are typically valid for two years.
STATE LAW
Wisconsin mandates CPR certification for several key professions including childcare providers, healthcare workers, EMS personnel, and massage therapists. Certified child care operators must complete infant/child CPR training as part of their pre-service requirements, and EMS applicants must hold healthcare provider-level CPR certification. Notably, Wisconsin Act 104 requires massage therapists to demonstrate AED proficiency before initial certification. CPR/AED certifications must be renewed every two years, and both the American Red Cross and American Heart Association are accepted providers throughout the state.
