How Heartsaver training supports Project ADAM

American Heart Association Heartsaver courses are the foundation for the CPR and AED training needed for a Project ADAM Heart Safe designation. 

  • Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED for K-12: This specific course is designed to train students and staff in first aid, CPR, and how to use an AED, allowing schools to meet the program's training requirements.

  • Blended learning options: The Heartsaver curriculum can be completed through blended learning, which includes an online course followed by a hands-on skills session with an instructor.

  • Empowers bystanders: Heartsaver training gives laypeople, such as school faculty, coaches, and students, the confidence and skills to provide immediate assistance during a cardiac emergency until professional help arrives.
