T-CPR Certification

The Program Structure

T-CPR certification isn't a single test — it's a structured progression that builds and verifies real capability.

SECTION 1

~60 minutes

Knowledge Foundation

Master the essential knowledge that underpins effective T-CPR delivery. Topics include cardiac arrest recognition, breathing assessment, CPR protocol, scene safety, and legal requirements.

Multiple choice and true/false assessments
Immediate feedback with explanations
85% passing threshold on final exam

Why it matters

You can't apply what you don't know. This section ensures every telecommunicator has the foundational knowledge to recognize cardiac arrest quickly and guide CPR accurately.

SECTION 2

~2-3 hours

Scenario-Based Assessment

Apply your knowledge in realistic, branching scenarios that simulate actual cardiac arrest calls. Each decision affects what happens next — just like real life.

10 interactive scenarios ranging from beginner to expert
Varied situations: home emergencies, pediatric cases, public locations, diagnostic challenges
85% passing threshold on final exam
Scored on decision quality, time performance, and caller management
Must pass 8 of 10 scenarios

Why it matters

Knowing the right answer on a quiz is different from making the right decision under pressure. Scenarios bridge that gap.

SECTION 3

~30-60 minutes

Live Assessment

Demonstrate your skills in a live role-play with a certified instructor who plays the caller in a realistic scenario.

Real-time T-CPR delivery
Evaluated on recognition speed, instruction quality, and caller management
85% passing score required
Recorded for quality assurance

Why it matters

This is the closest thing to the real call — proving you can perform, not just pass tests.

Sample Scenario Preview

See how branching scenarios test real decision-making

Sample Scenario

"The caller says the patient is making occasional gasping sounds. She asks if that means he's breathing. What do you say?"

A) "Yes, gasping is a form of breathing. Keep monitoring."

B) "Those gasps aren't normal breathing. We need to start CPR now."

C) "Can you describe the gasping more?"

D) "Check if his chest is rising and falling."

Each choice leads to different scoring consequences that correlate to how effective the path chosen.
