Class Schedule

PLEASE NOTE: THERE HAS BEEN A PRICE CHANGE FOR ALL PURCHASED AHA ECARDS:

BLS CARDS $10.00

HEARTSAVER CARDS $20.00

ACLS AND PALS CARDS $20.00

The AHA has recently changed the way that they charge for Heartsaver cards. They have reduced the materials costs for the Heartsaver discipline classes but they have made their cards MORE EXPENSIVE. The amount that you charge for classes should/could stay the same depending on whether or not you were including class materials (Heartsaver textbooks).

Please select this item to pay for AHA cards.

We have offered this item in order to facilitate the option to our instructors to pay for AHA cards when teaching an outside class. Additionally, this item has been offered as a direct link for outside entities that wish to pay for cards when on-site classes have been provided to a client/entity.

This inexpensive fee assists us in processing a credit card payment. It is also intended to help cover the administrative costs of processing the AHA cards/eCards while also allowing our clients and instructors the opportunity to arrange payment from any location. As always, feel free to contact us at (215) 762-1801 if you would like to pay over the phone or to arrange payment by check.

PLEASE NOTE: AHA eCard and traditional AHA card distribution will be delayed until payment for AHA cards/eCards has been received. Once payment has been received we will ensure that your AHA cards/eCards are distributed in accordance with AHA policies and procedures. We strive to provide ALL AHA cards/eCards in a minumum of time.

When paying for cards, please enter YOUR information (the Lead Instructor OR the organization purchasing cards) in the "Student Information" field as well as the "Comments or Special Requests" field.
