How to Make CPR Completion Cards

Upon completion of a certified CPR course, participants are awarded a completion card to show for their efforts. Having a CPR card from the American Heart Association is the gold standard in resuscitation education for health care and non-health care personnel. Completion cards can be printed out using a computer, which enables the instructor to print the cards right after the course is completed.
