What Class is Right for You?

 Healthcare Provider (Initial & Recertification)

This course taught by American Heart Association BLS Instructors is designed to teach the skills of CPR for victims of all ages (including ventilation with a barrier device, a bag-mask device, and oxygen), use of automated external defibrillator (AED), and relief of foreign-body airway obstruction (FBAO) to healthcare providers. .

 Skills Validation for On-Line Recertification Programs

This fast tract option is available for experienced providers recertifying their BLS, ACLS or PALS certification only. The student completes an online course then works one on one with our staff to complete their skill validation stations.

Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Initial & Recertification

This is a new Innovative ACLS course, totally redesigned AHA ACLS is for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the resuscitation of a patient. ACLS emphasizes the importance of basic life support CPR to patient survival; the integration of effective BLS with ACLS interventions; and the importance of effective team interaction and communication during resuscitation.

Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Initial & Recertification

The completely redesigned American Heart Association Pediatric Advanced Life Support course is based on new science evidence from the 2005 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC and a new teaching methodology. The goal of the PALS course is to aid the pediatric healthcare provider in developing the knowledge and skills necessary to efficiently and effectively manage critically ill infants and children, resulting in improved outcomes. Skills taught include recognition and treatment of infants and children at risk for cardiopulmonary arrest; the systematic approach to pediatric assessment; effective respiratory management; defibrillation and synchronized cardio version; intraosseous access and fluid bolus administration; and effective resuscitation team dynamics.
