Northeast Ohio's Leader in Community & Corporate-Based Training

Due to the serious nature of our current health climate, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close our American Heart Association Training Center. As a community-based company, we feel this is the right decision at this time. We will continue to meet internally as the crisis evolves, and will respond to recommendations from the AHA, CDC, WHO, and the State of Ohio. We will update our website and social media as conditions warrant, but anticipate remaining closed through April 30.

The AHA has issued new interim guidance for the US and international AHA Training Network to address questions regarding extensions for AHA Instructor and Provider Cards during the COVID-19 public health threat. This guidance also includes an amendment to the AHA policy on renewal/update options for students whose card has expired or will expire as a result of COVID-19. For most providers and instructors, there will be a 60-day extension beyond the recommended renewal date. A PDF explaining the new guidelines is below.

If you are already scheduled for a class, you can re-schedule for any date after May 1.  Please email us to let us know what day you would like to re-schedule.  DO NOT RE-REGISTER THROUGH THE WEBSITE AS IT WILL CALL YOU TO BEING CHARGED AGAIN.

For courses that absolutely cannot be re-scheduled the following practices are in place:

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, we wanted to let you know our infection control practices include:

o   Manikins bodies and faces are disinfected after each use 

o   Face masks and bag valve masks are disinfected after each class

o   New lungs are inserted in the manikins after each class

o   Participants have their own disposable barriers/ one way valves for  for breathing/obtaining chest rise on the manikin. 

o   Classroom tables/surfaces are disinfected after each class

o   We ask that you not come to class if you are ill

o   The above items are a standard part of our infection control practices and have been our longstanding protocol.  In addition we will be adding the following precautions until the threat of COVID-19 transmission has subsided.

• Manikins will not be shared during class.  
• Class size at our facility will be limited to 10 participants per class
• Students will be placed a minimum of 6 feet a part
• The class curriculum will be altered to prevent contact with other student’s equipment

We appreciate you patience and understanding during this national emergency.

Stay safe and healthy.
