When Will I Receive My AHA eCard After My Skills Session?
One of the most common questions healthcare professionals ask after completing their American Heart Association (AHA) skills session is, “When will I receive my AHA eCard?” Whether you’re certifying for a new job, renewing your credentials, or meeting a school requirement, receiving your certification quickly is important.
At Citywide CPR, we understand that many healthcare professionals need proof of certification as soon as possible. That’s why we work to issue official AHA eCards quickly after successful completion of your skills session.
What Is an AHA eCard?
An AHA eCard is your official digital certification card issued by the American Heart Association. It verifies that you have successfully completed the required course and skills evaluation for your certification.
Healthcare employers, hospitals, universities, and licensing organizations commonly accept the AHA eCard as proof of certification.
When Will I Receive My eCard?
Students who complete their skills session before 5:00 PM CST typically receive their official American Heart Association eCard the same day.
Appointments completed after 5:00 PM CST generally receive their eCard the following business morning.
This allows most students to quickly provide proof of certification to employers or educational programs.
How Will My eCard Be Delivered?
Your certification card is delivered electronically through the American Heart Association.
Once your certification has been processed, you’ll receive an email containing instructions to access and download your official AHA eCard.
Because the card is digital, you can easily save it to your phone, computer, or print a copy whenever needed.
What If I Don’t Receive My eCard?
If you haven’t received your eCard within the expected timeframe, there are several things to check first.
- Verify the email address used during registration.
- Check your spam or junk email folder.
- Allow additional processing time if your appointment was completed after 5:00 PM CST.
- Contact Citywide CPR if you still haven’t received your certification.
Our customer support team can quickly assist you in locating your eCard or resolving any delivery issues.
