Heartsaver blended learning training offers flexibility for employers, students, and Instructors. The eLearning (online) portion of the course is designed to teach students the cognitive information needed for first aid and/or CPR and AED training. Upon completion of the online portion, students must complete hands-on session with an AHA BLS or Heartsaver Instructor focused on meaningful skills coaching, practice, and testing.
Note: Students must have completed the AHA online course prior to taking the Skills Class. The cost of the online course does not include the cost of the skills class!
