Depends on who issued it - for an exact date, contact the issuing agency. Red Cross CPR certifications last for 2 years and American Heart Association certifications last for 2 years. Regardless how long the certification is good for, certain standards like NFPA require it annually. Be sure to check your company policy. Best case practice yearly in regards to OSHA training requirements (BBP). Hospital nurse every 2 years with ARC or AHA. Electrical maintenance technician every year.

Red Cross CPR certification is good for 2 years and then you need to take a refresher class to recertify. Their website http://www.redcross.org/portal/site/en/menuitem.d8aaecf214c576bf971e4cfe43181aa0/?vgnextoid=aea70c45f663b110VgnVCM10000089f0870aRCRD&vgnextfmt=default has detailed information about certification and you can sign up for a class there.

CPR recertification varies depending on the agency that has certified you. The American Red Cross suggests CPR certification should be renewed annually however the AHA recommends a recertification every 2 years.
