FAQs

The AHA does not mandate a minimum age requirement for learning CPR. The ability to perform CPR is based more on body strength than age. Studies have shown that children as young as nine years old can learn and retain CPR skills. Please speak with one of our AHA Instructors if you have concerns.  Call us at 316-775-6688.

We will provide you with a card before you leave, but only after you have demonstrated that you are successful at the skills you have been taught.

Your AHA card is valid for 2 years.  After that time is expired you will be required to take another course to renew your certification.

Yes, and in addition to the AHA card that you receive you will get a certificate that states that you have fulfilled the statutory requirements.

Yes, we do. We offer both AHA and ASHI BLS courses. All healthcare organizations in the Wichita Metro area recognize our provider training for this certification.

ASHI First Aid, CPR, AED and/or the AHA Heartsaver®CPR AED is probably best for you.  We offer these courses in both adult and pediatric formats.  This is the same course that you will take if you are a daycare provider.

Our CPR and first aid courses involve hands – on practice sessions, so wear something comfortable that you can move around in. If you have long hair, it is best to wear it back.

Emergency First Response is the fastest-growing international CPR, AED and First Aid training organization, with more than 31,000 instructors world-wide.

An Automated External Defibrillators (AED) is an easy-to-use portable machine that automatically delivers a shock to a patient who is not breathing and has no heartbeat. In the hands of knowledgeable responders, AED units dramatically increase the survival rate of these patients. Because early intervention is so important for these patients, many businesses, government agencies, recreational facilities and public places are making AEDs readily available for properly trained personnel.

The recommended AED component gives participants practical experience in AED use. Ask your instructor about including this training in your course.

The Emergency First Response Primary Care and Secondary Care courses meet the needs of anyone who wants to learn CPR and first aid. There are no special restrictions or requirements on teaching Emergency First Response Primary Care and Secondary Care courses to consumers or in the workplace. However, the Emergency First Response Region-specific courses offer a complete and ongoing solution to meeting workplace compliance standards in CPR, AED and First Aid training. While the Region-specific courses include comprehensive instruction in Primary Care (CPR) and Secondary Care (First Aid), their primary purpose is to meet regulatory body requirements for workplace safety in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

It varies depending on how your course is conducted. For example, it might be as short as three to four hours for both Primary and Secondary Care courses, if your course incorporates independent study. If the Primary and Secondary Care courses do not incorporate independent study, they could take from five to eight hours. Since the course is performance-based, other factors, such as the number of participants, whether recommended skills are included, the number of mannequins available and how quickly participants master the skills practice sessions will also determine course length. Click on the “Course Lengths” link under “Courses Offered” on the left side of your screen for more information.

Emergency First Response courses are supported by a full contingent of educational materials, including:

• Emergency First Response Participant manual (with independent study section, skill workbook and reference guide). This is used for the Primary Care and Secondary Care courses.
• Emergency First Response Primary Care and Secondary Care video.
• Emergency First Response Care for Children Participant manual (with independent study section, skill workbook and reference guide). This is used for the Primary Care and Secondary Care courses for infants and children up to eight years old.
• Emergency First Response Care for Children Care video.

Training for the Primary and Secondary Care courses is valid for two years. After successfully completing the course, participants receive a course completion card. Emergency Responders can refresh their skills through a short skills practice session or as part of a regular Emergency First Response class.
