We offer Initial and Renewal Courses for certification in ACLS, PALS and BLS, these are fully in-person. Initial Courses are ideal for someone who has not taken the course previously or has an expired card. Renewal Courses are ideal for those that have an active card, but needs to renew it.

We also offer Heartcode Courses for certification in ACLS, PALS and BLS.  Heartcode Courses provide the same certification as initials and renewals, but are offered in a hybrid format. The didactic portion of these classes are offered online, and then the student is required to attend an in-person practical skills session with an instructor. Enrolling in a Heartcode Course on this website will register you for both the online and in-person training. The date/time listed is when the student is required to attend their skills session.
