The American Heart Association (AHA) Safety Programs

The American Heart Association (AHA) is the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke. AHA funds cardiovascular medical research, educates consumers on healthy living and fosters appropriate cardiac care in an effort to reduce disability and deaths caused by cardiovascular disease and stroke.

AHA – Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers

The American Heart Association’s BLS Healthcare Provider Course provides many of today’s healthcare professionals the ability to determine life-threatening emergencies, utilize CPR and relieve choking in a safe and effective manner. If you work, plan on working or are a student in the healthcare field, generally you need a Healthcare Provider BLS card.

AHA – Heartsaver Classes

The American Heart Association’s Heartsaver classes are for non-healthcare workers with limited or no medical training who need CPR/AED/First Aid certification for job or other requirements, or who would just like to learn in a fun and relaxed environment. If you DO NOT work in a Healthcare setting, a general Heartsaver CPR/AED will fulfill basic CPR requirements.

High school students are welcome in our classes, but please be above the age of 14.

Important Note:

If you are taking training to meet requirements or standards of any kind, please confirm with that organization that you are taking the correct course to meet their requirements. WorldCPR Learning Center, LLC is not responsible if you register and/or take the wrong course.
