CPR Certification Options

Choose the Right CPR Certification for Your Job, School, or Licensing Requirement

At CPR First Aid Training School, we understand that students need clear information before signing up for a CPR class. Not every job, school, license, or employer asks for the same type of CPR certification. Many students are specifically told that they must have an American Heart Association certification card.

Because of this, we offer the official American Heart Association Heartsaver course options so students can choose the card that fits their requirement. Whether you need Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED, the Heartsaver K-12 school version, or Pediatric First Aid CPR AED, we can help you get the correct American Heart Association card.

Some employers, schools, hospitals, districts, and programs specifically require the official American Heart Association card. If your employer requires American Heart Association, you must select the matching American Heart Association option below. You can also learn more about our hands-on CPR, AED & First Aid class.

Before registering, please check with your employer, school, licensing agency, or program director to make sure you are choosing the correct certification.

The American Heart Association Heartsaver K-12 CPR, First Aid, AED card is designed for students working in or connected to the K-12 school system.

This card is especially helpful for students working with school districts, including those connected to Los Angeles Unified School District or other K-12 environments where an American Heart Association logo is required on the CPR certification card.

Pediatric CPR and First Aid for Daycare Providers

We also offer Pediatric CPR and First Aid training for daycare providers, childcare workers, preschool staff, foster care providers, early childhood education workers, and anyone responsible for the care and safety of infants and children.

This course is focused on emergencies involving children and infants. Pediatric CPR and First Aid training is especially important for childcare providers because emergencies can happen quickly in daycare and preschool environments. A child may choke, have an allergic reaction, fall, suffer a burn, experience breathing difficulty, have a seizure, develop heat illness, or need CPR.

Students who work in childcare should confirm whether their employer or licensing agency requires a specific American Heart Association pediatric course option. For the full childcare licensing package, see our Pediatric Health & Safety for Daycare Providers course.

Why Do We Offer More Than One Heartsaver Card?

We offer more than one American Heart Association Heartsaver card because students have different requirements. One student may need an AHA Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED card for a hospital, workplace, or employer. Another student may need Pediatric First Aid CPR AED for daycare licensing. Another student may need the K-12 school-based AHA card.

CPR First Aid Training School helps students choose the correct American Heart Association option for their job, school, or licensing requirement.

The most important thing is choosing the correct card before class. If you are not sure which Heartsaver card your employer requires, contact them before you register.

Which Option Should I Choose?

Choose the American Heart Association Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED course if your employer specifically requires an AHA Heartsaver card for adult, child, and infant CPR, First Aid, and AED.

Choose the American Heart Association Heartsaver K-12 course if you work in a school district, K-12 system, classroom, school program, or education-related position and need an AHA card with K-12 identification.

Choose the Pediatric CPR and First Aid course if you work with infants and children, especially in daycare, preschool, childcare, early education, or child safety settings.

If you are not sure which course you need, contact your employer before registering. CPR First Aid Training School can explain the options, but your employer or licensing agency is the final authority on what certification they will accept.
