Prerequisites
The AHA Heartsaver First Aid Course is designed for anyone with limited or no medical training who needs a course completion card in first aid to meet job, regulatory, or other requirements.
Participants must complete online modules for ‘Hybrid’ courses prior to the skills testing on the date noted for this course. Please follow the links provided to PSG Learning (on behalf of NAEMT, provided here and at the MEMST site) to enroll in and pay for those respective modules: AMLS Hybrid; PHTLS Hybrid; EPC Hybrid. For non-hybrid NAEMT classes, your KapCC Noncredit Registration is sufficient, but you should purchase and read a current provider manual for the respective course at PSG Learning: EMS Safety; TECC; TECC-LEO. Please note that as MEMST is a busy training center with minimal staffing, we are unable to respond to individual issues on a routine basis.
