An eCard is the electronic equivalent of a printed course completion card and can be provided to students as an alternative to a printed card. eCards are valid course completion cards and can be presented to employers as proof of successful completion of an AHA course. Like printed cards, eCards also expire two years from the issue date.

Instructor Chart

Instructor monitoring form

Instructor renewal checklist

The instructor monitoring form needs to be completed by either AHA Regional Faculty or Training Center Faculty for the discipline in which the instructor teaches. The monitoring form along with the Instructor Renewal Checklist needs to be sent to the Training Center in order to renew instructorship. Monitoring is part of the instructor renewal process and can take place at any time between the dates on your Instructor card. This must be completed prior to card expiring.

Student course evaluation

Each student should be given the opportunity to evaluate both the course they are participating in and the instructor who is teaching the course. These forms can be turned in to the instructor at the end of the course, mailed directly to the American Heart Association, or submitted to the Training Center the instructor is aligned with.

Duplicate card request form

Duplicate card request is completed by a participant who in the event needs to request a duplicate card. This must be submitted to the training center for processing. Only the original training center that issued the card can process the request and issue the duplicate card.

Records transfer request

In the event that an instructor wishes to transfer their records the instructor completes an instructor records transfer request. The Training Center (TC) coordinator of the TC where the instructor is transferring signs the request and sends it to the instructor’s original TC or the instructor may send the request to the original TC.

Notice to Primary Training Center of Instructor Activity form

When an instructor teaches a course at a Training Center (TC) other than his or her primary TC, this form is to be completed and sent to the instructor’s primary TC. A letter with the same information or a copy of the course roster (without scores) may also meet this requirement.

The Heartsaver for K-12 Schools course completion card was created to provide a cost-effective Heartsaver course completion card for K-12 school systems. The card signifies that an individual in the K-12 school system has successfully completed the objectives and skills evaluations in accordance with the curricula of the AHA Heartsaver programs. This card may be issued to school students, faculty and staff of the school. A Parental Consent to Participate form must be completed by parents/guardian of students under the age of 18 and submitted with roster to Avera Community Training Center. Please remember instructors are to keep a copy for their records.
