How Remote Skills Verification works:
When you purchase the CPR/AED RSV, we will send the video link to your email, and another link to schedule you skill assessment within the same link. When you complete the online segment of the class, we will deliver your equipment to your front door within a few days of your scheduled skills assessment. On you scheduled day you will need a computer with a camera and microphone to interact with the instructor online. Upon completion you will receive your certification.
