What training organization is your accreditation through?

American Health Association training is based on the most recent internationally accepted guidelines established by ILCOR, the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation. The training meets or exceeds the 2020 ECC Guidelines and is based on the Consensus Conference on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science.  Our instructional staff has more than 30 years of combined educational experience and our curriculum was developed by licensed physicians, paramedics, and nurses.  The curriculum is continually reviewed and provides the most up to date information.
