Make key codes available for student purchase through your Hovn booking system
Track keycode inventory and usage in Hovn
Deliver keycodes automatically when students complete their purchase
How to Import AHA Keycodes
Purchase Key Codes from AHA
Purchase your keycodes from the AHA or your training center, typically using ShopCPR
You do not need a Training Central account to make this purchase
AHA will provide you with the key codes (typically via email or accessible through your ShopCPR or Training Central account)
Add the Material to Hovn
Log in to your Hovn admin dashboard
Navigate to Materials from the left sidebar
Click Add a Material
Search for the AHA material in Hovn’s Material Catalog (e.g., “HeartCode BLS”)
Select the material — Hovn automatically fills in the description and access instructions
Set your price for the material
Click Save
Add Key Codes to Your Bank
After saving the material, you’ll see an option to manage key codes
Copy your key codes from your AHA purchase email or Training Central
Click Add Key Code
Paste the key codes into Hovn
The key codes are now added to your bank and ready to be delivered to students
Attach Material to Your Course
When creating or editing a course offering, attach this material
Choose a material policy (Included, Optional, Required but Waivable, or Required Bundled)
Students will automatically receive the keycode through their Student Portal when they register

Process:

Add the material to Hovn’s Material Catalog
Copy and paste key codes from Training Central into Hovn
Attach the material to your courses with the appropriate policy
Deliver key codes to students through Hovn’s Student Portal

Without a Training Central Account
How it works:

Choosing the Right Approach
Choose Training Central if:
You want to monitor student eLearning progress in real-time
You prefer to see completion status in a dashboard rather than waiting for certificates
You manage large volumes of students and want centralized tracking
Choose Without Training Central if:
You’re comfortable receiving completion certificates from students via email
You have a smaller student volume where manual tracking is manageable
You want to minimize the number of systems you need to manage
Example Use Cases
Scenario 1: Training Center with Training Central
A busy training center teaching 50+ students per month sets up a Training Central account. They purchase 100 heartcode key codes from the American Heart Association. In Hovn, they add “HeartCode BLS” from the Material Catalog, paste their key codes from Training Central, and attach the material to their BLS course. Students receive key codes automatically through their Student Portal. The training center copies codes from Hovn back to Training Central to monitor student eLearning progress.
Scenario 2: Small Training Provider Without Training Central
A new training provider teaching 10–15 students per month purchases key codes directly from the American Heart Association via email. They add the material from Hovn’s Material Catalog, paste the key codes from their AHA purchase email, and attach it to their course. Students receive key codes through the Student Portal with clear access instructions provided by Hovn. Students send completion certificates to the provider via email after finishing their eLearning.
Important Notes
Purchase Source: You always purchase key codes from AHA (American Heart Association) or your Training Center, not from Hovn

Low Inventory Alerts: You can enable notifications to alert you when you’re running low on key codes
One-Time Setup: Materials are created once and can be attached to multiple courses

No Wrong Choice: Either approach (with or without Training Central) works perfectly with Hovn
