Curriculums Not Endorsed
There are numerous website and organizations that offer “instant” CPR or First Aid certifications without ever stepping inside a training center. Currently, the American Heart Association does not endorse such curriculums. In addition, AHA course completion cards are not issued without hands-on skills testing by either an AHA instructor for that discipline or an AHA-approved computerized manikin in an AHA eLearning course.
