Our primary focus is to provide quality education with an excellent backing of superior customer service experience. If you have taken an American Heart Association class with us, you are welcome to come back within one year time to retake the course whether you have passed or not. (This policy does not apply for EMT/Phlebotomy programs) We are more concerned about doing the right thing and ensuring our students are prepared for an emergency. You will get no other experience like this in the Bay Area. All of our instructors bring real life experiences to their classes and offer first-hand information for any questions you may have. If you need more assurance for why to choose Project Heartbeat, one of our associates would love to chat with you and discuss any questions you may have.
We have been in open since 1996, serving communities in and around the Bay Area. We have educated thousands of individuals with a great success rate and affordable prices.
We have a 99% success rate in our American Heart Association courses. We are dedicated to ensure all of our students are well prepared for the skills and written exams at the end of every course. We ensure that students who do not feel comfortable have the opportunity to come back to another course within the next year until they feel comfortable with the information.
No, you will not have to pay for your first retake. We guarantee that our instructors will provide quality education to help you pass the course. If you don’t pass, you will be offered a free retake on the same day after a one-on-one review with an instructor. If you fail the retake, you will be allowed to take the class again at no additional cost. However, if you fail the second class, your third attempt will require payment. Please note: You are required to have the current AHA textbook during the class, as the exam is open book/open notes. The AHA mandates that a textbook must be available to you before, during, and after the class.
