Credentialed courses include formal skills evaluations and/or a written examination. All Healthcare Courses (BLS, ACLS, PALS, ACLS-EP) are credentialed courses as well as many of the Heartsaver courses.
A student is provided with an official AHA certification card upon successful completion of a credentialed course. If a card is not issued the student either did not meet the course requirements or the course was not credentialed.
