In these busy times, some people prefer taking the first part of their BLS, ACLS, PALS, or Heartsaver® instruction in the blended learning format offered by the American Heart Association: HeartCode® BLS, ACLS, or PALS - Part 1, Basic Life Support (BLS) Part 1 Online, Heartsaver® First Aid-CPR-AED, Heartsaver® Pediatric First Aid-CPR-AED, Heartsaver® First Aid, or Heartsaver® CPR-AED. These courses are offered for initial or re-certification, and they have the same completion requirements that the classroom-based equivalent courses do. All the blended learning options include access to the related E-textbook in the price of the course.

Students who successfully complete Part 1 receive a certificate that allows them entrance into a skills practice and testing session. An AHA course completion card will be issued upon successful completion of all three parts following successful completion of the skills session. You must bring your certificate of completion of Part 1 to your skills session in order to receive your certification card.

The online component of the course is only the first step in obtaining initial or re-certification of your BLS, ACLS, PALS or Heartsaver® First Aid-CPR-AED skills. The time it takes to complete the practice and skills session is very dependent on the individual and how much practice is desired, how many questions need to be answered, and whether or not additional instruction is required before the skills validation section. We do not want any student to feel hurried or rushed in any way, as it is far more important to gain the important skills and understanding of the principles than simply to rush right into a testing phase. As such, we provide each student complete control over the length of her or his skills session.

To purchase the full blended learning course for BLS for Healthcare Providers, ACLS, PALS, or any of the Heartsaver® courses, go to the AHA Online Catalog page, and you can get started toward your certification right away. A course key for the online portion will be emailed to you immediately so you can get started on the online portion at your convenience.

If you already have taken the online Part 1 of a course and have your certificate, you can schedule your skills session by e-mailing us at training@alliancetrainingsolutions.com. If you urgently need to schedule a skills session please feel free to contact us by phone at 862-200-9145. In many cases, we can get you certified or re-certified the same day.
