Methodology

Our company purchases many online course tokens from AHA each month and we have found that the course key codes include a serial number.

These key course codes follow a predictable pattern. For example, here is a valid token for an ACLS online course:

https://elearning.heart.org/course_enrolment?course=438&code=MjMzMjIxODc=&rand=MjM5MDIxODc=

This includes the course code MjMzMjIxODc= which decodes to 23322187.

To estimate AHA sales and revenue, we track every course code we purchase near the beginning and end of each month. Then we interpolate to estimate the course code at the exact end of the month.

The difference month-to-month is the number of courses sold in that month.

For earlier years, we also had to track course codes across Laerdal, WorldPoint, and the AHA website because each held different inventory. Also, some courses generated numbers in bulk; for example, the Pediatric CPR, First Aid, and AED course key codes were generated separately. Going forward, the inventory of these codes is consolidated and therefore much easier to track.

Comparison to audited financials

After the end of each year, the AHA publishes its audited financial statements.

This table compares our data to the revenue figures under “CPR Training Revenue” in the AHA's audited financial statements.
