This instructor led course is offered through an American Heart Association (AHA) Training Center (TC) and approved AHA instructor and reflects the science and education from the latest AHA guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC).  HeartSaver courses are meant for people who are not healthcare professionals but need the certification for their job or credentialling.  As part of this course, you will receive the AHA Heartsaver workbook to use during the class and take home for future needs.
