Question about renewing CPR and First Aid cert

I let my CPR and FA certifications lapse a few years ago. I remember all of the practical stuff, but also know a couple of things have changed (e.g., compression only technique). I also am not sure I'd pass the written exam without some type of refresher.

Is there any sort of "refresher" course for these certifications? Or do I need to go ahead and take the entire course again? TIA.

Re: Question about renewing CPR and First Aid cert

Depending on who your training center was (American Heart, Red Cross) There are refresher courses. I teach AHA and a refresher class takes anywhere from 1 1/2-3 hours. It also depends on how long your card has been expired. There have been HUGE changes in the past 3 years so if you expired before then I would suggest you take an original.
