Choosing your course.

What does AHA mean?

AHA means American Heart Association. Our American Heart Association Heartsaver, BLS and blended classes display the official Aligned Training Site seal.

Should I choose Heartsaver or BLS?

Choose American Heart Association (AHA) Heartsaver CPR, AED & First Aid for common workplace, school, childcare, fitness and community requirements. Healthcare professionals, first responders and clinical students commonly need AHA BLS Provider. If you are unsure, confirm the exact course name with your employer or school.

What is the difference between Initial BLS and BLS Renewal?

Initial BLS is appropriate for first-time students, expired certifications or anyone specifically required to complete the initial course. BLS Renewal is for eligible students who currently hold BLS Provider certification.

Can I take Initial BLS if I qualify for BLS Renewal?

Yes. If you are eligible for renewal, you may take either Initial BLS or BLS Renewal. Choose an Initial BLS class whenever its date or time works better for your schedule.

How much do scheduled classes cost?

American Heart Association Heartsaver CPR, AED & First Aid is $60. AHA BLS Provider Initial and Renewal classes are $50.

How does blended-learning pricing work?

Each HeartCode BLS or Heartsaver Blended course and city has one shared assessment calendar. Registration starts at $50 for the in-person skills assessment. If you need LP Health Directions to provide the matching American Heart Association online modules, add them for $50 during booking, making the total $100. If you already completed the approved matching modules, leave the add-on at zero. Complete the modules before your appointment and bring your completion certificate.

Is the Spanish CPR class an AHA course?

No. The Phoenix Spanish CPR, AED & First Aid class is taught completely in Spanish, provides LP Health Directions certification accepted by the Arizona Department of Health and does not issue an American Heart Association eCard.
