American Heart Association classes

We offer a number of American Heart Association sanctioned classes to promote health and safety throughout the county. Below are descriptions of each of the classes offered throughout the year. For your convenience, these are included in our online Training Schedule.

We can also schedule special trainings for your family, co-workers or house of worship..whatever the group. To schedule a group class, please call Captain Bobbi Nelson at (502) 222-7250. Or if you prefer, start things off by providing us with a little information about your training needs. Cost for the special group trainings depends on the number of students, the distance of travel, and the number of books required. This can be discussed with Captain Nelson when you schedule the class.
