Is this an American Heart Association (AHA) Class?
Yes! We ONLY provide American Heart Association classes. You will receive your AHA certification card right at the end of your class!
How long is my certification valid for?
American Heart Association certifications are valid for a period of 2 years.
Do you offer a 100% Online Class?
No. The American Heart Association does NOT offer 100% online classes. To receive an official American Heart Association certification there MUST be a hands-on component to the class.
Don’t be fooled by companies that offer 100% online training, your school or employer will NOT accept those.
What’s the difference between the Instructor Led and a Blended Learning Class?
Instructor Led: Class is 100% in-person. You will be in a classroom setting with a live instructor who will lead you through your training.
We recommend this option for first time learners, or participants that simply prefer a classroom experience.
Blended Learning: Class is a combination of online learning, followed by a hands-on skills session at one of our locations.
This option is best for renewals or participants that prefer the flexibility and convenience of the blended learning format.
My requirement says that my class needs to be in-person, can I still choose the Blended Learning Class?
Yes! The Blended Learning Class requires an in-person, hands-on skills session and thus meets the standard for in-person training.
Whether you choose Instructor Led or Blended Learning, your AHA certification card will be the exact same.
