The Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED Instructor Manual eBook is the digital version of the printed Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED Instructor Manual. It includes essential information and Lesson Plans that AHA BLS and Heartsaver Instructors need to teach AHAs Heartsaver courses, including the classroom and online/blended learning versions of the courses, for both the Heartsaver and Heartsaver Total course paths._

This product is for use by a single BLS or Heartsaver Instructor conducting Heartsaver courses.
