Provider is not a type or level of CPR. It is any institution that enters into a contract with the American Red Cross (possibly AHA; I am not sure). The CPR that the provider teaches could be lay or professional.
CPR for the Healthcare Provider
The health care provider CPR card includes 2-rescuer CPR and use of the BVM which is not included in the community CPR.
To recieve a CPR re-certification Online you can go to the CPR Renewal for Healthcare Provider at www.procpr.org and follow their instructions and submit for your certificate
A CPR Course is a course that is offered by many Non-For-Profit companies such as Red Cross Canada and St. John's Ambulance. The course will teach you how to perform CPR on an unconscious person. There are three main levels of CPR. Level A, Level C, and Level HCP.Level A: Emergency First AidLevel C: Standard First AidLevel HCP: Health Care Provider
You should have an AED / CPR card so your knowledge of the AED use and performing CPR is at an adequate level. But, it isn't required.

There is not a term for a CPR expert. There are different levels of certification that are more advanced than others. Community Level CPR: Can be for Adult, Child, Infant, or all three. Professional Level CPR (sometimes called BCLS or Basic Cardiac Life Support): Adult, Child, Infant CPR (1 and 2 Rescuer), AED, O2 Administration, Bloodborne Pathogens, BVM, and other topics. Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS): BCLS with advanced skills such as intubation & administering drugs.
As far as current Canadian Red Cross training goes, the CPR for HCP does not cover first aid.It does cover topics such as shock & deadly bleeding, stroke, angina & heart attack (as well as CPR, AED, choking) but is not considered enough to be a first aid course.Typically the first aid course covers more. See the related link for a breakdown of the various courses or check your local training provider.

In most cases, you must take Standard First Aid with CPR Level C before you can take an Advance First Aid or Advance Medical First Responder course. I personally have taken Standard First Aid with CPR Level HCP because I intend to take Advance First Aid later.
