Sounds acceptably vague to be a good answer to me. With the gazillion of certifiying agencies, it is hard to recognize one and disrespect another.
I think the bottom line is a "recognized" organization, and that could be recognized, locally, in a state, in a country, or in a branch of service, or governmental agency. Vague enough to allow flexibility in the local or country.
There are plenty of online certificate for both CPR and first aid - and not requiring squat of hands on demonstration. I guess as defined here, it could mean NAUI, PADI, SSI, AHA, ARC, or any locally or nationally recognized organizations.
I guess in the case of the military, it could be C4 combat casualty course with ATLS.
