BEACON Heartsaver First Aid Skills Only is ONLY for learners who have already completed the American Heart Association Online HeartsaverFirst Aid course and have their certificate dated in the past year.

BOTH the Online Heartsaver and the skills session are needed to satisfy certification even if you are renewing your certificate.

The BEACON Heartsaver Complete Package includes theory (Online Heartsaver) and skills verification (Heartsaver Skills).

Here’s the approximate time it takes to complete each one:

• The online portion of HeartsaverFirst Aid course can be completed in approximately 2 hours.

Online Heartsaver is the American Heart Association’s eLearning option for lay rescuers.  Topics include common medical emergencies and injuries and how to render basic treatment until help arrives.

Blended learning is a combination of eLearning, in which a learner completes part of the course in a self-directed manner, and a hands-on skills session.  In order to meet Heartsaver certificate requirements, learners are required to complete both the Online Heartsaver course and the hands-on skills session.

The BEACON Heartsaver First Aid Complete includes the Online Heartsaver course and the individual skills appointment at a Code One Training Center location.

Learners arrive for their scheduled appointment to a Code One Training Center location and check-in using the instructions in their confirmation email.  Our system will confirm your appointment and call you with a door code so you may enter the skills training room.
