Things to consider:

1)     Once you have completed the Online Part 1 Portion, you have 60 days to complete your skills test or the online portion becomes null and void. Please plan ahead so that you may complete this AHA requirement.

3)     Your certification card should be issued the date of your skills test (this is typical). Please note that due to occasional card back orders we may not be able to provide the card the day of the course. Your card would then be mailed to you.

Please contact us if you need an additional date and time. We will work to accommodate you.
