Overview
The Basic Life Support (BLS) Provider course will train you to quickly recognize life-threatening emergencies, deliver high-quality chest compressions, provide appropriate ventilations and provide early use of an AED. Science and education are based on the American Heart Association Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC). The AHA’s BLS Course is designed for healthcare professionals, clinicians, and other personnel who need to know how to perform CPR and other basic cardiovascular life support skills in-facility and prehospital settings.
Full course includes classroom instruction, in-person skills evaluation and requires the student to bring a current edition provider manual to class. Students registering for the hands-on skills only must have already completed the Heartcode BLS online instruction (verification required) and are not required to bring a provider manual to class since they have completed their written examination. Students who have not already completed the Heartcode BLS online instruction should register for the full course to receive both parts. Hands-only skills testing without completing online or in-person course instruction is not permitted. Certification e-cards are issued immediately upon completion of the course and are valid for two years.

Payments/Refunds
All payments for courses are non-refundable and must be made prior to arriving at the course. Course registration will not be considered confirmed until prior payment has been received. This ensures that the instructor’s schedule is available for those students who are ready to proceed with their course. Students who need to reschedule a certification course must adhere to the rescheduling policy (see below). Any student who arrives late for their scheduled course may have their course cancelled without refund, unless a late arrival or reschedule is permitted by the instructor. It is advised to contact the instructor prior to arriving late so that the instructor can be made aware of the situation and further assist you. Students may still be eligible to complete or reschedule their course in circumstances of late arrivals due to unforeseen circumstances or emergency situations.
*Refunds will only be issued in the rare event that the instructor must cancel the course.
Rescheduling
Students must arrive on time for scheduled courses to avoid forfeiting the course payment and fees. In cases of emergencies, it is advised for students to contact the instructor prior to the scheduled course time or as soon as possible. A one-time rescheduling pass may be available for students who are experiencing an emergency situation and/or are unable to complete their course due to another challenging circumstance. Please contact the instructor if there is an emergent issue that will cause you to be late or miss your course. Rescheduling more than once is not permitted and all courses are non-refundable.
