Heartsaver First Aid Online teaches basic first aid using a self-paced, Web-based course paired with a skills practice session with an American Heart Association Instructor. This online version of the classroom-based Heartsaver First Aid Course offers flexibility for workplaces that need to provide first aid training to their employees, but face many logistical challenges using classroom-based training.

The Heartsaver First Aid Online Course teaches the same material as the classroom-based Heartsaver First Aid Course. Topics covered include First Aid Basics, Medical Emergencies, Injury Emergencies, and Environmental Emergencies.

How it works:

To complete the Heartsaver First Aid Online Course and receive a Heartsaver First Aid Course Completion Card, students must:

1. Complete the online, cognitive portion of Heartsaver First Aid Online. Students can complete this portion either at the workplace or at home. Students complete a series of modules that cover all required topics in the AHA Heartsaver First Aid Course. As with the classroom-based Heartsaver First Aid Course, following each section of the online course, students complete a series of review questions. When students have finished all modules, a certificate of completion will be available for them to print.

2. Complete the hands-on Heartsaver First Aid Online skills practice session with an American Heart Association Basic Life Support or Heartsaver Instructor. Upon successful completion of the skills practice session, the student receives an AHA Heartsaver First Aid Course Completion Card.
