American Health Care Academy: online CPR, first aid and ACLS courses

Shopping at American Health Care Academy? See all current American Health Care Academy discount codes and deals, checked regularly.

American Health Care Academy runs online CPR, first aid and life support courses that you work through at your own pace, then sit the exam on the same site. It suits a wide spread of people: parents and babysitters who want to know what to do in an emergency, coaches and workplace first aiders who need a certificate for their job, and nurses, dental staff and other healthcare workers who have to keep BLS, ACLS or PALS current.

Each course comes with a certificate valid for two years, unlimited exam attempts and a wallet card you can download, print or have mailed. The healthcare courses also carry CE credit hours, provided jointly with the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine. The site is upfront that there is no single national body that accredits CPR training, so if you need the card for work, it is worth checking with your employer or licensing board before you buy.

What's worth a look

Here are six courses from the catalog, from quick single-topic courses to the advanced certifications.

For most people the CPR/AED and First Aid Combo is the sensible starting point. It covers adult, child and infant CPR plus first aid across 22 chapters, and costs less than buying the two courses separately. Healthcare workers renewing their advanced certification will want the ACLS course, which includes a study guide, megacode scenarios, rhythm and pharmacology pages and practice clinical cases, with the card provided online and mailed.

Smaller courses fill specific needs. Bloodborne Pathogens is a common requirement for tattoo artists, cleaners, school staff and anyone who might come into contact with blood at work, and HIPAA training is available for staff handling patient records.

How to save more

• Buy a combo rather than single courses. The CPR and first aid combo is priced well under two separate courses, and there's a healthcare version that pairs BLS with first aid.
• Training a team? Use the group discount page or call for a quote. Online, blended and in-person group options are all listed.
• Check exactly which course your employer asks for before you pay. Healthcare roles usually need BLS for Healthcare Providers rather than the standard CPR course, and buying the wrong one is the costliest mistake here.
