As an American Heart Association authorized Training Center our mission is to strengthen the Chain of Survival in the population we serve by providing high quality, effective life support training backed by the American Heart Association.

The American Heart Association’s Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) Programs deliver a dynamic message of hope — the hope of saving lives. New treatments have improved the possibility of survival from cardiovascular emergencies, cardiac arrest and stroke. These new treatments offer the hope of improved quality of life for people who suffer from these events.

Increasing public awareness of the importance of early intervention and ensuring greater public access to defibrillation will save many lives. Faithful Guardian Training Center programs train more than 4000 people every year by educating healthcare providers, caregivers and the general public on how to respond to these emergencies.

Our Heartsaver® Courses are for anyone with limited or no medical training who needs a course completion card for the job, regulatory or other requirements. These courses are also designed to meet OSHA requirements. For many of our courses, students receive a course completion card that is valid for two years.

Heartsaver® (CPR First Aid AED) is a classroom, video-based, instructor-led course that teaches adult CPR and AED use, as well as how to relieve choking on an adult. First Aid will also be covered in this course. This course teaches skills with AHA’s research-proven Practice-While-Watching (PWW) technique, which allows instructors to observe the students, provide feedback and guide the students’ learning of skills.

Most teachers, gym trainers, day care workers, foster parents, construction workers, etc, require this course certification. If you are unsure of the exact course certification you are needing, please check with your employer.
