American Heart Association course designed for healthcare professionals who either direct or respond in the management of respiratory and/or cardiac emergencies in children and infants.
Training Options
American Heart Association (AHA) offers training in 2 formats. Each format include the same learning objectives for the same (identical) certification card:
Instructor Led Courses – The full course is done in person with an instructor. The instructor will deliver both the cognitive and psychomotor components in a classroom setting.
Blended Learning Courses – Part of the course is done online and part is done in person. This course offers the flexibility of self-paced on-line learning with in-person hands-on skills practice & testing. This course is in 2 parts:
- Part I (Online Learning) – The eLearning (online) portion is a self-directed, comprehensive eLearning program that uses eSimulation technology allowing students to assess and treat patients in virtual healthcare settings.
- Part II (Skills Practice & Testing) – The skills session is designed to allow students time to practice before testing on skills required to receive their certification card.
