What is Heartsaver Direct?
A New Model for CPR Training
Heartsaver Direct™ transforms how CPR and First Aid training is delivered.
Instead of coordinating classroom sessions, learners:
- Complete the AHA online course at their own pace
- Visit a designated training station
- Follow guided, voice-assisted instructions to complete their skills session
- Receive an official American Heart Association eCard upon successful completion
This model allows training to happen:
- On-demand
- At the learner’s convenience
- Without waiting for scheduled classes
Why Organizations are Shifting to this Model
Solve the Biggest Problems in Traditional Training
Traditional CPR training often creates operational challenges:
- Scheduling large groups at the same time
- Coordinating instructor availability
- Disrupting work schedules
- Delays in onboarding or compliance
Heartsaver Direct solves these challenges:
✔ Employees train on their own schedule
✔ No need to coordinate full class sessions
✔ Ideal for multi-shift and 24/7 operations
✔ Faster onboarding and certification
✔ Consistent, standardized training experience
This is not just a training option — it is a workflow solution.
