American Heart Association
Certification Process and Request
American Heart Association certification courses can be facilitated by Bozeman Health through a combination of an online AHA course followed by a hands-on skills session with an AHA certified instructor. A certification card will be issued once you have successfully completed both the online course and the skills session.
Please refer to our Community Education page for information regarding available courses, costs, and estimated completion times. Email trainingcenter@bozemanhealth.org with questions.
If your organization has multiple people needing a CPR certification, please complete this community organization request or email trainingcenter@bozemanhealth.org.
