Who Heartsaver Training Is For
Heartsaver training is ideal for individuals and organizations that require CPR and first aid certification without a clinical or healthcare focus.
This includes:
- Workplace safety teams and general employees
- Schools, teachers, and childcare providers
- Fitness professionals, coaches, and recreation staff
- Construction, manufacturing, and industrial workers
- Hospitality, retail, and customer-facing roles
- Community groups and volunteers
If you are not a licensed healthcare provider performing patient care, Heartsaver is typically the correct certification pathway.
What Heartsaver Courses Cover
Depending on the specific course selected, Heartsaver training may include:
- Adult, child, and infant CPR
- Automated External Defibrillator (AED) use
- Choking relief for conscious and unconscious victims
- First aid for medical and injury-related emergencies
- Scene safety and emergency response priorities
All Heartsaver courses emphasize hands-on practice, real-world scenarios, and confidence-building instruction, not just classroom theory.
