National Safety & Health introduces HeartCode Courses, a blended learning program from the American Heart Association.
Wondering if this course is suitable for you? If you're a healthcare provider or student requiring CPR certification, please note that this course won't meet your specific needs. Consider registering for the Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers course to fulfill those requirements.
The Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid, CPR/AED Course is designed to instruct participants on child and infant CPR, relief of choking, and the use of barrier devices. Additionally, hands-on training with an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is provided.
Here's how the course works in two parts:
Part 1 (Completed at your home or office): Online simulation completion (0.5 to 2 hours)
Part 2 (At one of our regularly scheduled classes): Manikin practice and skills testing (20 - 30 minutes)
Additional Information:

- You'll receive your CPR card via email using the AHA eCard system on the same day as your course.
