Q: Can I use my Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada course completion card for employment in the US?
A: The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada (HSFC) works closely with the AHA. The HSFC provider card is recognized by the AHA and can be used for admission to an AHA provider course (renewal or update) or Instructor course in the same discipline. The HSFC Instructor card is recognized by AHA Training Centers the same way as an Instructor card issued by an AHA Training Center.

We suggest that you show your employer the AHA Course Card Reference Guide to see pictures of HSFC cards and read about our relationship.

Having said this, keep in mind that a facility is free to accept, or not, and training program they desire.

Best wishes.

Hey thanks! I found out AHA offered a blended learning. Part 1 I can do it online and reschedule the part 2 (hands on) when I go to the states. I informed my employer about it.
