I was surprised to see so many suspicious things on the National CPR Foundation's website. On their homepage, they claim that their certification courses are AHA compliant, created by AHA certified people, and endorsed by AHA experienced health providers. This is something that AHA themselves would never do with another organization. Not only this, but in the CPR certification course, especially in the second half, there are a large number of consistency errors, not to mention grammatical errors. A paragraph about chest wounds would start out saying the wounds should be left open, then in the next paragraph it would say to dress the wound with a pad, and then the next would say that dressings should be avoided with open chest wounds, etc. The exam at the end is also very concerning. There are ten multiple choice questions that remain the same after every retake, meaning someone could not read the course at all and just retake the exam until they get an official CPR certificate in the mail, which is very dangerous. Even on the physical certification card itself, there are minor but strange oddities. There are words capitalized when they usually wouldn't be, like "Course", or "Accordance", or "Examination".
