How to CLAIM your AHA eCard

We try to send your AHA eCard the same day as your class.   We may make a typo in your email address occasionally.

Here are three ways to retrieve and Claim your AHA eCard:

1. By Email  –  You SHOULD receive an email, from eCards@heart.org, with Subject “Claim your eCard”. Click on the link, it takes you to the course survey (how was the class, did they play a video, etc). If your first time, it asks you to choose a password, and security questions. That is so you can retrieve your card in a year or two. If your name is mis-spelled, please advise your instructor, we can correct that.
2. By SMS text  –  IF you supplied your phone number on the AHA roster, you can send a text message to 51736, with message content of  eCard.  This will return a link to CLAIM your AHA eCard. If it responds, “phone number not found”, it was not entered by instructor, or maybe a typo.
3. Go to website   –  AHA has an “eCards Search” web page, at https://ecards.heart.org/student/myecards . This is so employers, or students can see if you completed an AHA course. Until you claim your card, it only says you “completed a course on _____ date, card not claimed”.   From here, the student can Claim your AHA eCard, and enter password and security questions.  Once Claimed, employers and students can see your ecard.

 

A Note regarding our “Free CPR” classes

We have a reputation for teaching hundreds of people “free CPR training” each year, during February.  Our 14th year of providing these free courses.   Sorry, but these are not Free BLS courses, or free certification courses of any type.  We just want to turn onlookers in an emergency (bystanders) into “try-standers”.   We love and support EMS, and appreciate them so much.  We will teach everyone to call 9-1-1 for every emergency, but cardiac arrest is such a time critical emergency, someone in your workplace, gym, school, church, shopping center, or home,  NEEDS to start CPR immediately after calling 9-1-1, and ideally use an AED prior to EMS arrival.    Our Free CPR classes are NOT for healthcare clinicians or nursing students. 

They are for the majority of the population that doesn’t need a BLS card or a certification card, but they are willing to learn these life-saving skills.  (So, tell your brother or Mom about these free CPR courses  –  they might be able to save a family member or a co-worker).

 

In the same spirit of Community, we will also offer “Free Stop the Bleed Training” during May, which is “Preparedness  Month”.   Some rules:  You have to provide a location, and make the course available for the public to attend.  We don’t mind training 8 people at your school, or workplace, or recreation center.   We would rather invite some members of the public to also attend.
