Heartsaver Course Price Increase
We were advised by American Heart Association on Oct. 3, 2017, that, effective on Oct. 3, there would be a Heartsaver course price increase, a drastic increase in the cost of certification cards to the Training Sites and instructors. This change was done without advance notice to AHA Training Centers or Training Sites. This change only affects AHA Heartsaver courses (not Healthcare clinician-level courses), but the price increase for the Heartsaver cert. card went up 773%. This is a huge increase, that we are forced to pass along to our Heartsaver students.
It appears AHA is moving towards a model of higher priced cert. cards, and lower priced student books. The goal is more students having a student workbook before, during, and after training. If you like e-Books on your tablet or laptop, the price of the Heartsaver CPR/AED and First Aid/CPR/AED ebooks dropped to $2.50. (e-Books obtained by the student at: https://ebooks.heart.org/ . (The BLS e-Books remain at $13.25).
Generally, the Heartsaver course price increase (a cert. card increase of $15). But, the cost of student book dropped $7.00 – $12.00. So, books nor $2.50. The cost of Heartsaver online courses dropped by $0.50 – $14.00, but that means the net cost of Blended training went up. See our Heartsaver page for all course fees.
Effective 10/20/2017, we are increasing our course fees for Heartsaver CPR/AED and Heartsaver First Aid from $45 to $65, and are increasing the course fee for Heartsaver First aid/CPR/AED from $65 to $85, with one exception. The Oct. 2017 courses we had scheduled where students had already signed up and paid their money – we are keeping those prices. Specifically, that would be the Oct. 21 Heartsaver courses in Fayetteville. See our Schedule page to sign up.
We will continue to strive to offer the best BLS, CPR, First Aid and Emergency Response training in our geographic area for the lowest price to the student. Always with “Same-Day Certification”, as Coweta County’s only AHA Authorized Training Site. Again, so far, there’s no price increase for BLS for Healthcare Providers course, so the pricing for BLS course and also the Blended HeartCode BLS remains the same.
