Health and Safety Institute (HSI) Program Information
HSI Overview
- HSI, the American Heart Association®, Inc. (AHA), and the American National Red Cross (ARC) are the largest providers of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid training in the United States.
- HSI is comprised of four emergency care training program brands: the American Safety and Health Institute (ASHI), MEDIC First Aid®, EMS Safety Services, and 24-7 EMS & Fire. These four brands of
training programs include a range of courses covering first aid and CPR training for the community and workplace, as well as, both basic and advanced life support training and continuing education for healthcare providers.
- HSI is in the process of transitioning these emergency care training program brands into a single unified one – HSI. To address the risk of confusion in the market during our brand transition, HSI training materials, including certification cards, will continue to carry the ASHI, EMS Safety, and MEDIC First Aid logos for a prolonged period until they are slowly phased out.
Accreditation and Approval
- HSI Training Programs are approved by the HSI Medical Advisory Board and reviewed by the HSI Advisory Council.
- HSI training programs are equivalent to the training programs developed and administered by the AHA and the ARC.
- Neither HSI, the AHA, nor the ARC are recognized accreditation organizations. HSI, like the AHA and ARC, is nationally accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Pre-Hospital Continuing Education (CAPCE). CAPCE is the national accrediting body for Emergency Medical Services continuing education courses and course providers. HSI, like the AHA and ARC, is nationally approved by the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) Program Approval for Continuing Education (PACE) as a continuing dental education (CDE) provider.
- HSI's emergency care training programs and brands are currently accepted, approved, or recognized as an industry credential meeting the requirements of thousands of US state regulatory agencies, occupational licensing boards, national associations, commissions, and councils in hundreds of occupations and professions.
