This class is designed for individuals who need a CPR card for either personal fulfillment or for work purposes in industries NOT involved with medicine/healthcare.

This course replaces the BLS for Healthcare Providers Online Part 1 (#90-1403), HeartCode BLS Part 1 (#90-1404), and BLS for Prehospital Providers Online (#90-1433) 2020 Guidelines courses.

HeartCode BLS uses the latest eSimulation technology to enable students to assess and treat patients in virtual healthcare settings. This course teaches BLS knowledge and skills by utilizing a variety of eLearning assets such as dramatizations, eSimulations, animations, self-directed learning, and interactive activities.  This method of learning provides training consistency, adaptability to different learning styles, and flexibility for the student’s and employer’s time. Students can work at their own pace applying their knowledge to real-time decision making and skills development. Blended training also supports the need for hands-on learning of psychomotor skills. Debriefings and coaching are provided immediately after each simulation.

Once the cognitive portion of the course has been completed, students practice and test their skills with an AHA Instructor or on a voice-assisted manikin (VAM) system.

This course is designed for the Healthcare provider who has previously taken a healthcare provider course and needs to renew. The course is comprised of two parts.
