Who should sign up for training?
Both medical professionals and persons not associated with the medical industry could take courses with us. Medical professionals may be required to take courses by the institution they work for. Non-medical personnel often take courses to become more knowledgeable in CPR, AED's, First Aid. Everyone can be trained to learn how to save a life.

Should the general public be trained?
Yes especially if you are caring for, or living with, a child or elderly parent who may be a high risk medical candidate. Also, everyone in the general public benefits from being trained in CPR, First Aid, and AED use. We can all be called upon at any time to help save a life.

How about an online course?
We offer online eLearning courses from various organizations including CPR, First Aid and ACLS (part 1). In order to obtain a certification card, a skills test (part 2) is required by an AHA instructor. Please be aware that various organizations are offering CPR and/or ACLS eLearning courses without the required skills test. Many of these courses are not accepted within the general medical industry. All American Heart Association courses, and certification cards, are accepted nation-wide.
