AHA COURSE INFOMATION

On some NOLS Wilderness Medicine courses, Idaho Rescue Training is able to offer the opportunity for students to receive their AHA HeartSaver CPR Certification.

​

Other organizations may register you for an AHA HeartSaver CPR, First Aid, or Heartcode BLS Course. 

​

To complete the AHA Certification, students will need to:

1) Pay the Idaho Rescue Training testing and certification fee online or be registered by your organization for the class.

• A URL will be provided by Idaho Rescue Training 7-10 days before the class to access the online module

​

2 ) Complete the online module with the American Heart Association

• You will receive an email with your URL for the course from the American Heart Association.

• Complete the optional Child & Infant sections prior to completing the course

   

  • If you complete the course without completing the Child & Infant sections, please call the AHA to have your course reopened at (888) 242-8883.  Certificates are required to have these listed for this class.​​​

• Complete the course survey at the end to view your course completion certificate.

• Do not use Apple Safari, it is not always compatible with the AHA Website. 

​​

4) Complete skills testing at the end of Day 1 of your course, which will take 30-45 minutes.

​

5) Your certification card will be emailed to you by the AHA within 7 days of the course and is valid for 2 years.  If you do not find that email, you may visit www.heart.org/cpr/mycards to claim your certification card using the email that you provided.
