ONSITE Group CPR Training and Certification

Choose from two different curriculums:

American Heart Association (AHA) Basic Life Support Provider
Our AHA Basic Life Support class covers in detail Adult, Child, and Infant CPR.

Students will learn the basics of how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED) and how to perform basic maneuvers to relieve choking in infants, children, and adults. The course lasts approximately 3 hours and consists of video-based training, instructor lecture, hands-on skills, and a written test.

Students will receive an American Heart Association CPR/AED card at the completion of the course.

American Red Cross (ARC) Basic Life Support
The purpose of the Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers (BLS) course is to ensure that healthcare and public safety professionals have the knowledge and skills necessary to respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies.

The course emphasizes active, hands-on learning and uses scenario activities to help participants learn how to provide CPR, use an AED, and relieve an obstructed airway for adult, child, and infant patients. The BLS program is available in two delivery formats: classroom (instructor-led) and blended learning, featuring online simulation learning followed by an in-person skills session.

Choose from 2 different course delivery options:

ONSITE Training & Skills Assessment:

3 hour course taught at your company’s location for up to 60 people.
Instruction is first delivered by video and all questions are answered
by one of our highly qualified instructors.
This is followed by a live CPR demonstration by your instructor and then each student is given time to practice administering CPR on a mannequin until the skill is mastered.
Each student must pass a multiple choice test and CPR skills assessment before the end of the class to receive their certification.
Cards are normally issued within two days of class completion. The American Heart Association will send an electronic copy of the provider card to the student’s email address that was provided by the student on the AHA course roster on the day the class was taught.

ONLINE Training + ONSITE Skills Assessment

Students first completed the online portion of HeartCode BLS which will be assigned to each individual student’s email after course payment has been received.
After online coursework has been completed, students will print a copy of their “course competition” certificate to give to the AHA skills instructor before the in-person skills check session.
One of our highly qualified instructors will demonstrate and assess each student for CPR skills mastery during an ONSITE Skills Assessment class (approx 1hr)
Cards are normally issued within two days of class completion. The American Heart Association will send an electronic copy of the provider card to the student’s email address that was provided by the student on the AHA course roster on the day the class was taught.
