In today's healthcare landscape, it is more important than ever to differentiate between legitimate certification and unauthorized offerings. We want to clarify that while there are entities claiming to provide NRP certification or verification cards through online courses, these organizations are not affiliated with or recognized by the American Academy of Pediatrics AAP or the American Heart Association AHA. The cards they issue do not hold the same authority or credibility as the official AAPAHA NRP Course Completion cards that you will receive upon successful completion of our course. By choosing Heart Alive Medical, you can trust that you are receiving top-quality training that meets the highest standards.

We warmly encourage you to engage with our NRP Provider Course, where you will gain invaluable hands-on skills that empower you to save lives.
