I want to become an American Heart Association (AHA) instructor, what do I need to do?

First, you need to have current copies of your AHA provider certifications in the disciplines you want to become an instructor in (i.e. if you want to become a BLS instructor you need to have your AHA BLS provider certification).  If you have a BLS or CPR certification from another entity that is not AHA, it will not carry over.  TIP: if you obtained your BLS certification online and there were no in-person skills sessions involved, then you did not obtain a legitimate certification.  Make sure you go through an instructor or organization that is licensed/accredited to teach the course.  Once you have obtained your AHA provider certification(s), please email them to Support@120Commpressions.com along with your full name, e-mail address, home address, and current profession.  Right now, we can only offer the AHA provider and instructor courses to residents in the United States.

I want to sign up for an AHA, ARC, ASHI, or other certification course (or refresher course) but I don't see any dates on the calendar, how can I sign up?

Right now, we do not list update/refresher/skills course sessions on our calendar.  If you are only seeking these types of sessions and not a full course, please inquire and we will work with you to get you re-certified.  If you cannot find a course on our calendar or are interested in a course you cannot find on our calendar or website, please let us know and we will certainly do our best to help you with the certification you are looking for.

I live outside the United States, can I attend lectures and earn credits?

Yes!  It doesn't matter where you live in the world, most countries accept our accrediting organizations.  Remember, our focus is WORLDWIDE healthcare education!

Do you offer group discounts or department discounts?
