What Our Students Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions regarding AHA recognition, card issuance, and HeartCode verification.
Yes. Survival Group is an authorized American Heart Association Training Center. Upon passing your hands-on verification on our HeartCode manikin, your records are transmitted to the AHA and you are issued an authentic 2-year AHA eCard, verifiable at cpr.heart.org. AHA certification meets the requirements of regional healthcare employers, hospitals, and licensing boards that specify AHA credentials - but requirements vary, so always confirm with your employer or licensing board.
Your eCard is issued the same day you pass. Once your hands-on check is verified by the digital system, your certification is processed and an automated link is sent to your email, letting you download or forward the official PDF card immediately.
