For Health Care Professionals | CPR, PALS, and ACLS Training

All AHA certifications expire on the last day of the month, two years from the date which a participant took their prior course.

There is no grace period. It is the sole responsibility of the individual to maintain current certification. Please refer to your department policy or consult with your leadership group regarding working with an expired certification as this creates liability for your department and the hospital.

Per AHA guidelines, the office can take up to 21 business days to process the cards once the office has received the course paperwork.

Please contact the AHA support number at 888-242-8883.

In the event of inclement weather, classes are rarely cancelled due to scheduling logistics for all parties involved. A decision will be made no sooner than nine hours before the scheduled class date and time. If the class will be canceled, there will be two attempts to notify the participants, one by email and one by phone. This notification will be sent not later than eight hours prior to the scheduled class date and time. Individuals will not be responsible for the cost of the class nor the cost of rescheduling the class. Per AHA regulations regardless of these unfortunate circumstances, there is no extension on certification expiration date.
