What the Heartsaver class covers

First aid that comes up

Bleeding, burns, broken bones, allergic reactions, seizures, choking and what to do while you wait for paramedics.

Hands-on CPR

Adult, child and infant compressions and breaths on real manikins, practised until it stops feeling awkward.

Using an AED

Pads, prompts and shock delivery on the machines you will actually find on a wall at work or school.

Coaching at an El Monte high school this season?

California Education Code 35179.1 requires high school coaches to hold certification in CPR, AED use and first aid. Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED covers all three in one class. If you coach at Arroyo, El Monte, Mountain View or South El Monte High, check how your athletic director collects the card, then book a session before the first practice.

Applying for a City of El Monte recreation job?

The city's Parks and Recreation page says its parks and facilities are supervised by CPR and first aid certified recreation staff. If you are applying for one of those roles, or volunteering through the Junior Recreation Leader program, ask the department which card it accepts. Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED is the American Heart Association course that covers both.

Do daycare and preschool jobs need a different card?

Often, yes. California child care law asks licensed centers and family child care homes for training in pediatric first aid and pediatric CPR, from the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross or an EMSA-approved program. If you work at a licensed preschool or a Head Start site, confirm with your director whether they need the pediatric version before you book this one.

Which is right for a teacher or classroom aide, Heartsaver or BLS?

Heartsaver. BLS is the healthcare provider course for clinical staff and nursing students. Teachers, aides and office staff are workplace responders, and Heartsaver teaches what that role involves: recognizing an emergency, starting CPR, using the AED and handling first aid until paramedics take over.

How long will the class take out of my day?

Plan around three hours in the room, plus about 12 minutes each way on the I-10. It is a single visit: you practise, your skills are checked, and the card is issued the same day.

El Monte specifics

Who needs CPR and first aid certification in El Monte

Almost everyone who books this class was told to by an employer or a program. These are the ones we see most often from El Monte.

  • Coaches at Arroyo, El Monte, Mountain View and South El Monte high schools in El Monte Union
  • Teachers, aides and before and after school staff across El Monte City School District's TK to 8 campuses
  • Recreation staff and youth sports volunteers with the City of El Monte, from Lambert Park to Tony Arceo Park
  • Program staff at the city's Aquatic Center on Mildred St
  • Warehouse, restaurant and office staff picked as the workplace first aid responder

We do not run a classroom inside El Monte. We run one straight down the I-10 in West Covina, and for most of El Monte it is a shorter drive than crossing town in traffic. Parking is free in the building and you leave with the card the same day.
