- BLS Provider – designed to provide a wide variety of healthcare professionals the ability to recognize several life-threatening emergencies, provide CPR, use an AED, and relieve choking in a safe, timely and effective manner. The course is intended for certified or non-certified, licensed or non-licensed healthcare professionals.
Ideal for: physicians, nurses, nursing assistants, therapists, dental professionals, healthcare students, and any medical or healthcare personnel providing patient care.
Course Length: 3-4 hours - Hands-On Skills Session – The hands-on skills session must be completed following successful submission of the Heartcode BLS online blended training portion. Hands-on sessions will be 1 hour in length and will require the student to demonstrate practical CPR skills for the instructor. Upon registering, you will be contacted by the instructor to schedule a hands-on skills session.
- Blended Learning – designed to provide the student with the flexibility of combining both online and in-classroom learning. With this format, the student completes the didactic portion from home (via the American Heart Association website) and schedules an in-person skills check with the training site.
Ideal for: students who have consistent access to the internet, comfortability with online and self-paced learning, and time to practice at home.
Course Length: Online portion is self-paced; Skills check is 30-45 minutes
