International Personal Trainer Academy: CPR/AED Certification

This course is open to anyone — no prior credential is required to enroll. It is built primarily for personal trainers who need a current CPR and AED certification to sit for the IPTA Certified Personal Trainer exam, to maintain ongoing certification, or to meet professional compliance standards in the fitness industry. Self-study learners are welcome too.

The course delivers the core CPR and AED knowledge that personal trainers need for emergency response, professional compliance, and exam eligibility. The material covers cardiopulmonary resuscitation technique and the operation of an automated external defibrillator, packaged into self-paced online modules that students move through on their own schedule.

A free digital textbook, available in PDF, Apple Books, and Kindle-compatible formats, accompanies the online lessons and serves as a reference both during the course and afterward in the field. Learning is reinforced by a final exam with unlimited attempts, so students can revisit the material until they are confident in the content. The course is delivered entirely online, with no in-person sessions, scheduling conflicts, or commuting required — a format the school positions as built for personal trainers who need to complete the requirement quickly without leaving home.

The course is 100% online and fully self-paced. Students enroll, work through the self-paced modules at their own speed, and complete a final exam with unlimited attempts. Upon passing, the certificate is available to download immediately. No in-person sessions, scheduled cohorts, or live calls are required. A free digital textbook is included in PDF, Apple Books, and Kindle-compatible formats.
