REMEDIATION

Insufficient SELF-remediation often results in the need for CLASSROOM-remediation. If the student is not able to demonstrate proficiency by the AHA standards, the student will not be issued a certification and there will be no refund. The instructor will provide the student a checklist of proficiency criteria that need remediation. Please be familiar with the Appendix (testing criteria) of your provider manual.

  • The student is expected to self-remediate (aka study) for a minimum of 2 weeks prior to attempting another class.

  • The student must re-complete both online components. All categories must score >90%.

  • The student can remediate in the classroom for free (one time) if they are willing to be put on a waiting list (class is capped at 4 students).
