Description:
The American Heart Association’s Heartsaver Basic First Aid, CPR, & AED course trains participants to provide high-quality first aid, CPR, and AED use. This course equips individuals and workplaces with the confidence to respond effectively to medical emergencies until emergency responders arrive.
The HeartCode format is a blended learning delivery method, which consists of students completing an online course prior to an in-person skills test. You must complete the HeartCode Heartsaver Basic online prior to your testing session (purchased separately for $23). Bring a hard-copy of the Completion Certificate with you to your skills session. We cannot test you without this certificate.
