There are many websites and companies out there who offer CPR courses. Although those courses may indicate that they follow the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines, they are very often not certified by the AHA. Companies and websites who offer low priced CPR cards ($19.95) are most likely not governed or monitored by the AHA. As an official AHA Training Center, we are consistently audited by the AHA to ensure our instructions and methods follow their strict guidelines. In addition, AHA certifications are widely accepted and requested by many hospitals across the nation. This is especially true if you are a healthcare professional. If you are in doubt, please consult your supervisor or crediting body for more information.

We only accept American Heart Association (AHA) certifications in accordance with AHA’s rules and regulations. Many outside courses are not regulated by a reputable medical body therefore AHA cannot ensure the quality of knowledge and material taught are up to standard with the leading advances in emergency cardiac science.

The American Heart Association (AHA) does not offer “instant” CPR cards because skill testing in person is the only way to ensure that you are actually able to perform the skills. Your AHA certificate will be issued immediately upon successful completion of the skills test. Please take caution that the AHA will NOT offer “instant” CPR cards. If you need an AHA card but is offered an “instant” one, please check the validity of the provider and the card before you purchase it.

Your American Heart Association certification card will be valid for 2 years. As a courtesy we will notify you via email before your certification expires.
