Become an AHA Training Program or Training Site

Align with the National Institute for Healthcare Education (NIHE) — a national American Heart Association Training Center focused on helping instructors and organizations build successful, compliant training programs.

Organizations and instructors who teach American Heart Association courses independently must operate under a written agreement with an AHA Training Center.

At NIHE, these organizations operate as either Training Programs or AHA Training Sites depending on the size and scope of their operations.

Our goal is simple:

✓ Help you launch your training program correctly
✓ Help you grow your instructor team and student volume
✓ Help you develop a successful and sustainable training organization

Who We Work With

Independent Instructors

Start or grow your CPR and resuscitation training business with national support and mentoring.

Training Programs

Organizations building internal training programs or growing toward full AHA Training Site status. Scale your program into a full AHA Training Site with guidance and systems.

 

Healthcare Organizations

Hospitals, EMS agencies, and healthcare departments expanding internal training.

Corporate Training Departments

Safety training teams needing structure, compliance, national reach, and scalable training systems.

The NIHE Growth Pathway

You do not need to meet Training Site requirements today.

If you currently have:

  • Fewer than 5 instructors
  • Fewer than 250 students per year

You can begin as a Training Program. Our team will mentor you step-by-step until you qualify as a full AHA Training Site.

Your growth is our mission.

Why Many Training Sites Choose NIHE Instead of Other Training Centers

 

Many Training Centers simply process paperwork and issue course completion cards.

NIHE operates differently.

We believe that strong Training Sites are built through mentoring, leadership development, and ongoing collaboration.

When you align with NIHE, you gain more than a Training Center — you gain a professional network dedicated to helping training organizations grow successfully.

Our role is to help you:

✓ build a sustainable CPR and resuscitation training business
✓ develop and mentor new instructors
✓ expand into healthcare and corporate training markets
✓ maintain full compliance with American Heart Association standards
✓ grow from a Training Program into a successful Training Site

Very few Training Centers provide this level of support and long-term development.  

At NIHE, your growth is our mission.  

Many of the most successful Training Sites in the NIHE network began as a single instructor and grew into multi-instructor organizations serving their communities.

A True Business Partnership

Most Training Centers simply process your paperwork.

NIHE helps you build a real training business:

  • Grow your student volume
  • Expand into new markets
  • Add new disciplines
  • Develop instructor teams
  • Build a profitable training organization

When you grow — we grow.
