The two delivery methods for the BLS curriculum are listed below:

BLS (Traditional)

  • Delivery: Face-to-Face
  • Duration: 3 hours
  • Price: $65.00

We teach using a traditional learning approach using American Heart Association video where you will practice the skills while watching the video. There will be plenty of hands-on practice of the skills presented in the video so every student will leave the class confident in the topics taught during the course. A practical exam and a written exam are given at the end of the class. You must pass both to obtain an AHA BLS Certification card. The passing grade on the written exam is 84%.

The required student text for this course is the 2020 Basic Life Support Provider Manual, hard-copy or eBook. Provider Manuals serve as a reference tool for use before, during, and after your course. Without the book, the student will not be permitted to participate in the course. Out of respect for the time of all students, we will not delay the start of class to purchase AHA products, including eBooks.
