DET provides four American Health Association (AHA) courses for initial certification and recertification.

What is HeartCode? 

HeartCode courses combine online learning with hands-on CPR skills practice to ensure competency. Students complete the online portion of the course at their own pace, anytime and anywhere they have Internet access. Students then attend a hands-on skills session with an AHA Instructor or voice-assisted manikin (VAM), where available, to ensure CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED) skills competence.

Policies 

We recommend that you explore the OnlineAHA.org website to familiarize yourself with the online courses before registering. There will be NO REFUNDS for activated course keys, regardless of the reason for not being able to complete the online course.  

Anyone who activates an online course key but does not complete the course and the live skills check, as part of the recertification process, will be responsible for the cost of the unused course key. 

Refunds WILL be given for courses or skills sessions canceled by DET.
