CPR and first aid trainings generally take between 2-3 hours, but that time can be influenced by the class size, number of instructors, and pre-existing knowledge and certifications of students.

ASHI certifications through Express EMS last for 2 years.

CAPCE's accreditation standards require that programs have sound educational offerings, which are determined by reviewing the program's objectives, teaching plan, faculty, and evaluation processes
