CPR VAM - Powered By Heart Start CPR

CPR VAM - Powered by Heart Start CPR, based in Phoenix, AZ, delivers official American Heart Association (AHA) certification in BLS, ACLS, and PALS. Its hybrid format pairs AHA HeartCode online coursework with a brief, in-person skills check using AHA Voice Assisted Manikins (VAM). The hands-on session typically takes less than 30 minutes, and successful participants receive an official AHA eCard immediately. The program reports a 100% pass rate with unlimited online attempts.

Appointments are offered seven days a week at most locations, with service across Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington. More than 25,000 students complete training annually. Group training is available.

Students choose a course, select a nearby location and time, complete the online modules at their own pace, and finish with a quick in-person skills verification. This structure meets AHA standards while minimizing time away from work. CPR VAM provides accessible, compliant training for healthcare providers and others who need current AHA credentials.
