2 Year American Heart Association CPR Certification
24/7 Availability With Same Day Certification Card
I spent 15 years as a firefighter and paramedic, and I think CPR is an essential skill for everyone…
Because you never know when or where sudden cardiac arrest will happen. On the field, I’ve seen firsthand how important quick intervention is, and bystanders are at the scene before anyone else. Even if you’re not a medical professional, you’ll be able to help during an emergency situation when you know CPR––and you never know whose life it might save.
Zack Zarrilli, Founder
If you’re a medical professional, this class is not the one you need. Healthcare providers are required to complete the American Heart Association’s BLS Provider Course, which follows a different curriculum. SureFire CPR offers that program around the clock through our 24/7 training model. Register for it here.
Absolutely. This course is developed and authorized by the American Heart Association and satisfies certification requirements for educators, construction and trade workers, caregivers, and anyone seeking CPR and basic first aid training nationwide.
Our training uses CPR Verification Stations—interactive manikin systems that you can access any time, day or night. Just register above, complete the online learning portion, and you’ll receive a personalized access code to enter the station you’ve selected. It’s designed for maximum flexibility and zero scheduling stress.
Yes! Our team is on standby every hour of every day to assist with scheduling questions, station access, and guidance during the hands-on skills portion. Whenever you need help, we’re here.
A CPR Verification Station is an AHA-designed training unit featuring an interactive manikin that gives real-time feedback on compressions, breaths, and AED operation. Once the Heartsaver Direct course is released, the station will walk you through every step and automatically issue your CPR and AED certification after successful completion.
When the Heartsaver CPR & AED course becomes available (expected in 2026), you’ll receive your AHA eCard instantly inside your learning dashboard as soon as you finish the skills portion—no delays or extra steps.
You’ll learn how to respond confidently to the most common emergencies, including:
The CPR and AED Certification card is valid for 2 years from the date of your class and is issued from the American Heart Association.
