This American Heart Association course is approximately 2-3 hours in length and certifies individuals in CPR/AED for adults, children and infants and is valid for two years.

BLS for Healthcare Providers:  The American Heart Association Basic Life Support (BLS) Healthcare Provider course is a higher level CPR class that is designed to train healthcare professionals (such as Nurses, Doctors, Firefighters, EMTs, Hospital/Clinic personnel, Dental Workers, or anyone interested in the healthcare field) on recognizing and responding to several life-threatening emergencies and use of airway adjuncts. Nearly all Healthcare workers are required to have at least this BLS class.

The ACLS course teaches the importance of preventing cardiac arrest, high-performance teams, early and continuous high-quality CPR, systems of care, recognition and intervention of cardiopulmonary arrest, post-cardiac arrest care, acute dysrhythmias, stroke, and acute coronary syndromes (ACS)

PALS:
PALS is geared towards healthcare providers who respond to emergencies in infants and children and for personnel in emergency response, emergency medicine, intensive care and critical care units.

NOTE: "AED" or automated external defibrillator, is a machine used by responders to deliver an electrical shock to the heart when there is a cardiac emergency. When used with CPR, AEDs greatly increase the chance of survival from heart related emergencies. AED certification and training is included in all of our CPR courses.

Topics covered in this American Heart Association course include: Recognition and treatment for heart attacks, stroke, diabetic emergencies, allergic reactions as well as first aid treatments to wounds, fractures, burns and other common injuries.
