How to Get American Heart Association CPR Certification in Nevada

Whether you’re a healthcare professional, teacher, childcare provider, or simply a concerned community member, having an American Heart Association (AHA) CPR certification can make all the difference in an emergency. In Nevada, earning this certification is straightforward — but knowing your options can save you time and ensure you get the right type of training for your needs.

At Northern Nevada CPR, we make the process convenient, flexible, and stress-free. Here’s your step-by-step guide to getting certified.

Step 1: Choose the Right CPR Course for Your Needs

The AHA offers several CPR course types:

• BLS (Basic Life Support) – for healthcare providers and medical personnel

• Heartsaver CPR/AED – for workplace and community use

• Heartsaver Pediatric CPR/AED/First Aid – for childcare workers, teachers, and parents

• First Aid + CPR/AED Combo – for those who want a broader emergency skillset

  
  

If you’re unsure which course you need, check with your employer or certification requirements — or contact Northern Nevada CPR and we’ll help you choose.

Step 2: Pick a Training Format

You can complete your AHA CPR certification in two main ways:

1. Traditional Classroom – All training and testing are done in person.

2. Blended Learning – Complete an online AHA module at your own pace, then attend an in-person skills session for hands-on practice and testing.

At Northern Nevada CPR, we offer both options — and we bring the training directly to you in Reno, Sparks, Carson City, and surrounding areas.

Step 3: Schedule Your Class

To get certified, you must attend an AHA-accredited training taught by a certified instructor. When booking with Northern Nevada CPR:

• You can schedule at your workplace, home, or community site

• We cap class sizes for more personal attention

• Flexible day, evening, and weekend sessions are available

Step 4: Complete the Hands-On Skills Practice

Even if you choose the blended learning format, you must pass the in-person skills check to earn your certification card. This includes:

• Performing high-quality CPR on adult, child, and infant manikins

• Using an AED correctly

• Demonstrating proper rescue breathing techniques

Step 5: Receive Your Certification Card

Upon successful completion, you’ll receive your official American Heart Association eCard, valid for two years. You can download, print, and share it with your employer right away.
