Q. What courses does American Health Care Academy offer for online certification?
American Health Care Academy offers a full range of individual and combination courses for online certification. Options include CPR, AED, First Aid, Basic Life Support (BLS), Bloodborne Pathogens, Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), and HIPAA training. Learners can choose a single certification or a money-saving combo such as CPR/AED and First Aid together. Every course is delivered fully online, is self-paced, and follows current ECC and OSHA guidelines, so learners study the same techniques used in the field. Your certificate is available to download the moment you pass the final exam.
Q. How much do the online courses cost?
American Health Care Academy keeps online certification affordable, with individual courses starting at $9.95 and standard CPR/AED and First Aid courses priced at $14.95. Combination courses that bundle CPR, AED, and First Aid cost more but deliver a lower price per certification. You only pay after you pass the final exam, so there is no upfront risk, and every purchase is backed by a 100% money-back guarantee. Prices shown are per course and are often discounted from the regular rate. Group and corporate pricing is also available for teams that need to certify several people at once.
Q. How long does it take to complete a course?
Most American Health Care Academy courses take approximately one to two hours to complete, depending on the certification you choose. The training is fully self-paced, so you do not need to finish in a single sitting. You can log out at any point and resume exactly where you left off, on a computer, tablet, or phone. Course materials and resources remain accessible for 60 days from the date of purchase, which gives you time to review the content before or after you certify. If you do not pass the first time, exam retakes are unlimited at no extra cost.
Q. How long is my certification valid?
Most American Health Care Academy certifications are valid for two years from the date you complete the course, which matches the standard renewal cycle used across the CPR and first aid industry. The one exception is the Bloodborne Pathogens certification, which is valid for one year in line with OSHA guidance and should be renewed annually. When your certification is close to expiring, you can renew or recertify online through the same self-paced format, so staying current is quick and convenient. We recommend setting a reminder ahead of your expiration date so your certification never lapses.
Q. Are American Health Care Academy courses accepted by employers?
American Health Care Academy courses are built to meet OSHA and ECC standards and are widely accepted by employers, schools, and organizations across the United States. Because acceptance requirements can differ by institution, state, or employer, we recommend confirming that an online certification will satisfy your specific workplace or licensing needs before you enroll. Our support team is available to answer eligibility questions before you register. Once you complete a course and pass the final exam, your certificate is issued immediately and can be verified online, which makes it easy to share proof of certification with an employer or hiring manager.
Q. When and how do I receive my certification card?
As soon as you pass the final exam and complete payment, you can download a digital copy of your certificate and print an official, nationally accepted wallet card instantly, so there is nothing to wait for to prove you are certified. A physical wallet card is also mailed to you at no additional charge for most courses. If you ever misplace your certificate or card, you can log back into your account to download a replacement or contact support for help. Every certificate is printable, so you can keep a hard copy on file or share it with your employer right away.
Q. What continuing education (CE) credit will I earn?
Many American Health Care Academy courses include continuing education (CE) credit hours that both lay responders and healthcare professionals can apply toward their requirements. The number of CE hours varies by course, generally ranging from about 2.0 hours for shorter certifications up to 6.0 hours for advanced or combination courses such as BLS, ACLS, and PALS. The available CE hours are listed on each course page before you enroll, so you can confirm the credit you will receive. Because CE acceptance can vary by employer or licensing board, we recommend verifying that our credit hours meet your specific professional requirements.
Q. Do you offer group or corporate discounts?
Yes. American Health Care Academy offers group and corporate programs designed for businesses, healthcare facilities, schools, and teams that need to certify multiple people. Group accounts include discounted per-person pricing, a dedicated account representative, and a personalized training portal with real-time reporting so administrators can track progress and completion across their team. The same self-paced online courses and instant certification apply, which makes it simple to keep an entire staff compliant. Blended learning options that combine online coursework with hands-on skills sessions are also available for organizations that require an in-person skills check.
