Do not stop CPR until one of the following conditions exist: * An AED becomes available, and you stop to install and allow it to analyze and further direct you * More advanced medical personnel arrive to take over (or another trained person) to continue CPR and to transport * The scene becomes unsafe, and you need to move the patient and yourself to safety; then continue CPR * The patient shows signs of life * You are too tired to continue.
It depends on the person. CPR can be very tiring so it is a good idea to have someone take turns with you if other people are around to keep you from wearing down and still be able to give effective CPR.
In between each cycle of compressions you should give 2 breaths for approximately 1 second each at an interval of 5 seconds apart (for adults) or 3 seconds apart (for infants and children).
Until signs of life are evident, an AED becomes available or until advanced medical help arrives.
Once it is confirmed CPR is required, start immediately.
As long as the class is certified by the CPR association they should be the same. This is due to the training that is required to make the class certified.

Use CPR when there are no signs of life. For an Adult, look, listen and feel for breathing. If there is no breathing, give 2 breaths and start CPR. For an Infant and Child, after checking for breathing and there is no breathing, check for a pulse. If there is no pulse, start CPR.
