The underlying message implies that a CPR training program or certification must somehow come from &#8212; or receive a blessing from &#8212; the AHA.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth, however, might surprise you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at how CPR requirements are created. It starts with ILCOR&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Is the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR)?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilcor.org\/\">ILCOR<\/a> is the global organization that develops resuscitation protocols. ILCOR meets every five years to review outcomes from the prior years, using that data to update heart resuscitation protocols, including those for CPR.<br><br>Representation in ILCOR includes the following member councils from all parts of the globe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Heart &amp; Stroke Foundation of Canada<\/li><li>European Resuscitation Council<\/li><li>InterAmerican Heart Foundation<\/li><li>Australia &amp; New Zealand Committee on Resuscitation<\/li><li>Resuscitation Council of Asia<\/li><li>The Resuscitation Council of Southern Africa<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>and<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The American Heart Association<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each member is then responsible for sharing the new protocols determined by the council. In the case of CPR, this information is communicated through guidelines.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Are the AHA\u2019S CPR Guidelines?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the United States, it is the American Heart Association that communicates guidance on CPR training programs based on the protocols and recommendations developed by ILCOR. This means that the AHA Guidelines are ILCOR\u2019s guidelines. The AHA simply re-publishes them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CPR training organizations then develop educational programs and systems around the AHA guidelines. These training groups include ProTrainings, The American Red Cross (ARC), the American Safety &amp; Health Institute (ASHI), and the training arm of American Heart Association, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>So&#8230;What Does \u201cAHA Certified\u201d (or \u201cCompliant\u201d or \u201cApproved\u201d or \u201cAccredited\u201d) Really Mean?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer to this question depends on which term is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Term or Phrasing<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What It Means<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Training is <strong><em>AHA-compliant&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><br>Training <strong><em>follows AHA Guidelines<\/em><\/strong><\/td><td>The training organization creates its own curriculum based on the guidelines <strong>developed by ILCOR<\/strong> and <strong>communicated by the AHA<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Training is <strong><em>approved by the AHA<\/em><\/strong><br>Training is <strong><em>certified by the AHA<\/em><\/strong><br>Training is <strong><em>accredited by the AHA<\/em><\/strong><\/td><td>Training is taught by independent instructors who have <strong>paid to use materials created by<\/strong> the training arm of the <strong>AHA<\/strong>.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is an AHA CPR Certification Better Than One From ProTrainings, American Red Cross, or Another Provider?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, remember that any provider may develop and offer CPR training based on ILCOR recommendations \u2014 and that should always be an essential feature of any program you consider. That said, the American Heart Association is directly involved in developing those recommendations as an ILCOR member. However, the AHA is also responsible for clearly communicating and sharing those recommendations with all other providers and the general public as part of its role in promoting cardiac health and resuscitation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, the American Heart Association\u2019s CPR training courses are taught by independent instructors. These instructors are also able to lead CPR training for other providers, such as ProTrainings, ARC, or ASHI. As with any course or training, the quality depends on both the instructor and the course content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result is that training programs from multiple providers cover the same procedures based on the same medical research and scientific facts. So as long as a provider is following the ILCOR recommendations, no program is \u201cbetter\u201d than another, simply \u201cdifferent\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The differences in CPR training programs appear when you evaluate individual instructors, the full course content (what material may be included beyond the most basic facts or steps in administering CPR), the method of delivery, the ease of scheduling, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Do I Select the Right CPR Training Program if They\u2019re All Based on ILCOR Guidelines?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, it\u2019s always wise to confirm that a provider you\u2019re considering adheres to ILCOR guidelines. You can do this by simply looking for ILCOR\/AHA guidelines on a sample certification card, or by checking which state and national boards approve their certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond following ILCOR guidelines, all CPR training isn\u2019t the same. Some of the things you should consider when evaluating different providers include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.procpr.org\/blog\/online-cpr\/online-cpr-certification-pros-cons?swcfpc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Different learning methods<\/a> such as online, in-person, or a combination<\/li><li>Options for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.procpr.org\/blog\/training\/lay-rescuer-vs-professional-cpr?swcfpc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">different levels of CPR training<\/a> based on your job requirements<\/li><li>If you\u2019re running a CPR program for your organization: the ability to accommodate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.procpr.org\/blog\/group-cpr\/4-types-of-group-cpr-training-programs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">different staff shifts or locations<\/a>, the ability to track certifications, available customer support, and LMS integration.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the AHA\u2019s role in developing or vetting CPR training?&nbsp; \u201cApproved by the American Heart Association.\u201d\u201cAHA compliant.\u201d\u201cAccepted by the AHA.\u201d&nbsp;\u201cMeets all American Heart Association requirements.\u201d You\u2019ve likely heard or read statements like these regarding CPR training and certification many times, but do you really know what they mean?
