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

STATE LAW
CPR & First Aid Requirements in Idaho
Idaho stands out with its requirement that childcare providers renew their Child and Infant CPR and First Aid certification annually, more frequently than the typical two-year cycle in most states. Additionally, online-only courses are not accepted for initial certification; providers must complete training with a certified instructor in person. Idaho law requires CPR and AED instruction as part of secondary school health education before graduation. While teacher CPR requirements are set by individual school districts, both AHA and Red Cross certifications are recognized statewide.
