Train Together. Save Lives. AHA Heartsaver® On-Site Courses Made Easy
Every second counts in an emergency, and how your team responds can mean the difference between life and death. Whether you manage a hospital department, medical clinic, school, fitness center, or corporate office, ensuring that your staff is trained to act quickly and confidently is one of the best investments you can make in safety and preparedness.
That’s where on-site group training with ACLS Academy comes in. Bringing certified American Heart Association (AHA) instructors directly to your facility allows your entire team to receive hands-on, consistent instruction in a familiar environment. From CPR and AED use to First Aid and emergency response, on-site group training empowers your organization to meet compliance requirements while building a safer, more confident workplace.
Why Choose On-Site Training?
1. Streamlined Compliance
Many workplaces, including healthcare facilities, schools, gyms, and community centers, are required to meet specific training standards for CPR, AED, and First Aid certification. Coordinating multiple employees to attend off-site classes can be time-consuming and disruptive to the workflow.
With on-site training, ACLS Academy brings everything to you: certified instructors, training equipment, and all course materials. Your staff can train together on-site, minimizing scheduling conflicts and ensuring that everyone completes the required certification efficiently.
2. A Familiar Learning Environment
Training at your own facility helps participants feel more comfortable and confident. Your employees get to practice life-saving skills where emergencies are most likely to occur - in your workplace. This context makes it easier to visualize how to respond in real-world situations, from locating an AED to managing an injury in the breakroom or on the gym floor.
3. Real-World Expertise
All ACLS Academy instructors are active healthcare professionals who bring their on-the-job experience to each class. Their real-life stories, tips, and demonstrations help participants better understand how to handle high-stress situations. This approach transforms standard compliance training into a powerful, engaging learning experience.
4. Cost-Effective and Flexible
On-site group training is often more cost-effective than sending employees to separate classes. ACLS Academy offers flexible scheduling and course combinations, allowing you to select precisely what your team needs, whether that’s basic First Aid, CPR/AED certification, or both.
You can even combine courses to meet specific occupational safety requirements. For example:
Heartsaver CPR/AED Provider (2–3 hours)
Heartsaver CPR/AED/First Aid Provider (4 hours)
Heartsaver First Aid Provider (2–3 hours)
This flexibility enables you to design a training plan that suits your team’s availability and your organization’s compliance standards.
What Courses Are Offered for Group Training?
ACLS Academy’s Heartsaver courses, created by the American Heart Association, are designed for non-healthcare professionals who want to be prepared for emergencies at work or in their community. These courses are especially beneficial for:
Teachers and school staff

Corporate employees and managers
Each course includes hands-on practice and instruction in:

ACLS Academy has brought this same hands-on expertise to diverse settings, from community workers in the Mississippi Delta to teachers and staff at Thayer Academy, helping teams of all types feel prepared and empowered when every second counts.
