For American Heart Association (AHA) we are certified to teach Heartsaver First Aid/CPR/AED (Click on Public Basic FA/CPR link to the left), This is recognized as an International certification and also comes with an AHA book and requires testing at the end of class. This course is most used by multi-state workers and Healthcare Providers.

Our most popular course is Basic Life Support (BLS). It is known under several other names such as Healthcare Provider, and Heartcode.  (Click on Healthcare Provider/BLS link to the left) We teach live classes and also provide the Part 2 portion of the online course.  Washington State REQUIRES that all online classes have a live instruction component.  Any online course that certifies you without live instructor interaction is NOT a legitimate certification. 

All AHA courses now use the eCard system which provides better proof of legitimate training to employers and replacement of lost cards managed by the student.  Each student must have Internet access and email. Some companies say they "follow the AHA guidelines then give you a card they made themselves.  It may be good for state OSHA/WISHA standards but is NOT an AHA certification unless it's an AHA eCard.

We use Fire Service experienced live trainers and don't limit teaching 'How and What', we add 'WHY' so the student has a better retention and confidence of rescue practices.  We adapt our classes to many customer specific needs from daycare, food industries, to industrial specifics. We also are certified for Coast Guard, state Electrical and HVAC CE.
