    I don't know that you can as you have to demonstrate the CPR as well as take the test.

    I've heard that you can if you have a one-year renewal because you can do a maximum of two years.

    Two years is for the ACLS and one year is for the BLS.

    ACLS is Advanced Cardiac Life Support, that's a 2-year certification.

    BLS is Basic Life Support (CPR), and is a one-year certification.

    No because you have to demonstrate that you can do chest compressions properly and mouth-to-mouth properly, etc.
