Healthcare providers are required to take the American heart association BLS certification class. Professions that require AHA BLS certification include nurses (RN), nursing students, doctors, medical assistants, hospital technicians, dental assistants, EMT, physical and occupational therapists, firefighters, paramedics, dentists, respiratory therapists, and more. But you don’t have to be a medical professional to get BLS certification. Our AHA BLS certification and recertification class is the most popular class.

There are two ways to take an American heart association CPR – BLS class for Healthcare Providers.  You can take the entire AHA BLS class in our classroom — it’s over 3 hours and the cost is $75.  The other approach is to do most of the BLS course online, then come to our classroom for a “BLS skills test” only — the hands-on portion of the course: practicing with the CPR manikins and AED trainers.  You pay $36 to the American Heart Association for the online portion (https://shopcpr.heart.org/heartcode-bls) of the course and pay us $55 in the classroom. We award you your AHA BLS certification.  Both approaches result in the same American Heart Association BLS certification, which would be valid for 2 years.

You will ideally have some clinical experience or have just completed or are about to complete nursing school, paramedic school, etc. You will need to achieve a score of 80% or higher to pass the exam. If you don’t pass on your first attempt, you can retake the exam as needed.
