How to Claim your American Heart Association eCard
Congratulations on completing your training! Next step: claiming your eCard. There are 3 ways to do this:
Method #1 - AHA Website: Once CPR Seattle has issued your card (typically between 2-48 hours after your class), visit this AHA website and simply type in your name, email address, and follow the instructions on the page.
Method #2 - Text the AHA: If you provided your mobile phone number when you enrolled with CPR Seattle, simply text 51736. You will receive instructions on how to claim your card (please allow CPR Seattle up to 48 hours to input your data into the AHA system).
Method #3 - From your Email: Once CPR Seattle has input your data in the American Heart Association database, you will receive an email from ecards@heart.org. Simply follow the instructions you receive to claim your BLS, CPR and/or First Aid certification card.
That should be all you need, but if you wish to see the steps that you will follow once you are on the AHA website, they are outlined below.
Once you arrive to the AHA website, the Student Profile page will display. This page is pre-populated with the the following non-editable information:
- eCard Code
- Instructor Info
- Training Center Info
- First Name
- Last Name
- Email Address
The phone number is optional and can be edited.
You must then choose a security question from the available options and supply an answer (answers are case-sensitive) that you will use to access your eCard Profile in the future. You must agree to the Terms of Use for the website. To view the Terms of Use, click the hyperlink “Terms of Use.”
Once you agree to the Terms of Use and click Submit, the system will display the Rate Your AHA Class page.
Click on the answer of choice for each section. You can skip the questions if desired.
