Training

The Heart Center is metropolitan Washington’s leading provider of personalized, hands-on training in emergency skills.

As Healthcare Professionals with years of experience in top regional emergency rooms, fire departments, and trauma centers, we’ve lived the techniques we now teach. We are a proud, nationally accredited AHA Training site licensed to provide certification in CPR and other crucial techniques under the guidance of the Virginia Hospital Center. For new parents, teachers, doctor’s offices, or even family members of heart patients, our experienced faculty can provide you with the convenient, professional, nationally recognized certification you need to feel safe and confident.
