Standards

What the courses are based on

American Health Association is an independent training provider in Cedar City, Utah. Courses are offered online through SimpleCPR.

We are not an ILCOR member council, and we are not the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross. Lesson content follows their published science. Using that science is not an endorsement.

Guidelines

CPR and AED lessons follow the published ILCOR consensus on science and the American Heart Association emergency cardiovascular care guidelines, including the 2025 update on choking, opioid-associated emergencies, and pediatric care. First aid lessons also draw on standard emergency-care references used in professional education.

Bloodborne-pathogen lessons address topics in OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.1030. OSHA does not issue CPR cards. Whether a card meets an employer, dental board, or Joint Commission expectation is that organization’s decision.
