AHA Heartsaver First Aid, CPR, AED Certification

American Heart Association (AHA) Heartsaver First Aid, CPR, AED Course is an instructor-led and video-based course that teaches individuals in the community to provide FIRST AID, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and automated external defibrillator (AED) use in a safe, timely, and effective manner. The course teaches skills with the AHA’s research-proven practice-while-watching technique, which allows instructors to observe the students, provide feedback, and guide the students’ learning of skills.

Heartsaver First Aid, CPR, AED is geared towards anyone with little or no medical training who needs a course completion card for their job, regulatory (e.g., OSHA), or other requirements or anyone who wants to be prepared for an emergency in any setting. Upon successful completion of the course, students receive a course completion card, valid for two years.

Recommended CPR Classroom Guidelines
  • Face masks are recommended but not required during class.
