AHA Heartsaver® First Aid

This American Heart Association (AHA) Heartsaver® First Aid course is designed for anyone with little or no medical training who needs to be prepared to respond to common first aid emergencies. It is ideal for workplace requirements or for individuals who simply want to know how to help in an emergency.

The course is delivered in a blended learning format. Students complete an interactive online portion at their own pace, followed by an in-person hands-on skills session with an AHA-certified instructor to practice and demonstrate key first aid techniques.

Topics include how to respond to bleeding, sprains, broken bones, shock, allergic reactions, and other medical emergencies.

Upon successful completion of both parts, students receive an AHA Heartsaver First Aid certification valid for two years.
