Heartsaver FAQ

Common questions.

Is Heartsaver the same as BLS?

No. BLS is for clinical providers (nurses, EMS, etc.). Heartsaver is the lay-public version for workplaces, schools, and families. The skills overlap but Heartsaver focuses on what an untrained bystander needs to know before EMS arrives.

How long does it take?

About 3 hours for the full CPR/AED/First Aid combo. Shorter if you only need CPR/AED without First Aid — ask at your location.

Will my employer accept this?

Yes. AHA Heartsaver is recognized by OSHA, school districts, daycare licensing boards, and most workplaces. The eCard is your proof of completion — forward it to HR.

How long is the card valid?

2 years. Renewal is the same course; we'll send a reminder before yours expires.

Do I need any prior experience?

None. Heartsaver is built for the absolute beginner. If you've never done CPR before, you'll be fine.

Can my whole team take it together?

Yes. We do group bookings at all three locations and can deliver on-site for larger teams. Contact us for group rates.
