CPR certification can be advantageous in many circumstances, but it depends on your field of work. A hiring manager for a remote software engineer position may place little weight upon CPR certification. On the other hand, healthcare careers often require CPR certification to be completed during orientation periods. This is part of the training completed during onboarding at your new job. They may have their own CPR classes for you to attend, or they may reimburse you after you complete a CPR class near you. Many have preferences for the issuing organization, such as “American Heart Association” only.
It can look very appealing to hiring managers to see that you have taken it upon yourself to become certified prior to applying, though. Taking initiative and checking out the job requirements beforehand can aid in gaining you an interview. 
This is especially true if you are applying to an entry-level position or are new to the field you are looking to gain employment in. This is an out-of-pocket expense for you, but can be a good addition to your resume if you do not have many skills to list.

Beware of the 100% online CPR training classes that do not require a skills demonstration because they are unlikely to meet your job’s licensing requirements. The keywords to look for in a CPR class is “American Heart Association,” “American Red Cross,” or “American Safety and Health Institute.” These are the most reputable CPR organizations that you can have a CPR card issued from. Depending on if you work in a health-related capacity, a realm of education, or other field, a BLS provider course may fit your needs better than a First Aid CPR AED course.
