Candidates in the health care industry are typically recommended to take health care provider CPR, also known as CPR “HCP”. CPR HCP Training classes combine all the class content offered in CPR “A”, “B” and “C” and add additional information. This CPR class is the most comprehensive stand-alone CPR class offered through the 4 major providers.
