AHA Training

Piedmont Technical College’s Training Center supports the AHA's mission and goals through administrative, educational, and quality assurance support of the AHA instructor members. 

Mission and Goals

The American Heart Association's mission is to reduce disability and death from cardiovascular disease and stroke.

Steps toward achieving this goal include:

  1. Improving the chain of survival and acute care treatment
  2. Enhancing prevention and disease management
  3. Generating the resources to achieve the goal by increasing the number of instructors, providers, revenue, partnerships, training materials, and programs.

Our Training Center supports this mission and purpose through the provision of quality AHA classes to health care professionals and the community and by educating and informing the AHA instructors on new skills or AHA programs.
