Whether you need CPR certification for your job, to meet school requirements, or for personal preparedness, Hawaii has accredited training centers offering American Red Cross, American Heart Association, and ASHI classes.

STATE LAW
CPR & First Aid Requirements in Hawaii
Hawaii does not currently have a statewide CPR mandate for high school graduation or broad occupational categories. EMS professionals must maintain Healthcare Provider level CPR certification with a practical skills component and annual recertification through the Hawaii Department of Health. Teacher, nurse, and other professional CPR requirements are generally determined by individual employers and school districts rather than state law. Both American Heart Association and American Red Cross certifications are recognized, with standard two-year renewal periods for most professions.
