After successfully completing your AHA Self-Guided Learning course and the required hands-on skills session at a CPR Verification Station, your Training Center will issue your American Heart Association (AHA) Course Completion eCard.
Your eCard serves as proof of course completion and is available electronically through the AHA eCards platform. Once it has been issued, you can claim your card, access your certification details, download a copy, or share it with an employer.
When your AHA eCard is ready, you may receive an email notification from eCards@heart.org with instructions for accessing your certification.
If the notification does not appear in your primary inbox, check your spam, junk, or promotions folder.
Open the AHA notification email and click the claim link included in the message.
The Student Profile page will display your registration details. Check your first and last name, email address, phone number (if available), eCard code, and Training Center information.
If you find an error in your profile, reach out to your Training Center before proceeding.
Choose a security question and provide an answer that you can remember.
Read the terms and conditions, accept them, and click Submit.
Complete the course evaluation presented on the screen.
After submitting the survey, your AHA eCard will become available for viewing. You can download or print it for future reference.
Check your email for confirmation that the claiming process is complete. Save this message for your records.
You do not need the original notification email to access your certification. The AHA eCards platform also allows students to look up an issued card directly.
Use the following instructions:
Navigate to the AHA eCards Student Search page.
Choose the Student option to access the student search function.
Provide your first name, last name, and the email address associated with your CPR or healthcare training registration.

Create your security question and enter your answer.
Accept the AHA terms and conditions, then submit your information.
Complete the course survey to finish the claiming process.
Your AHA eCard will be accessible once these steps are completed.
