The American Heart Association's revolutionary approach to emergency response education is now available in Orange County
The CPR Verification Station represents the American Heart Association's cutting-edge model for CPR, BLS, ACLS, and PALS certification—transforming how lifesaving skills are taught, practiced, and verified.
Instead of relying on limited class schedules and subjective instructor evaluations, the CPR Verification Station uses simulation technology, voice-assisted manikins, and automated skills verification to deliver consistent, high-quality training. It seamlessly integrates with the AHA's blended learning approach—online coursework plus in-person skills testing—delivered by Pulse CPR in a flexible hybrid format that supports same-day certification.
Lifelike manikins with built-in sensors that measure depth, rate, recoil, hand placement, and ventilation volume in real time.
Step-by-step guidance through AHA-approved skills scenarios with clear prompts so you always know what to do next.
Performance data is recorded directly in the AHA system, and successful attempts automatically trigger your eCard.
Train and certify on your schedule with convenient appointment times that fit your busy lifestyle.
Traditional classroom courses have long been the foundation of CPR certification. They work—but they depend on instructor availability, group scheduling, and manual evaluation that can limit access and introduce variation in how skills are assessed.
Get certified in three simple steps—complete your training online and verify your skills in person at our Orange County locations

Visit our CPR Verification Station, demonstrate your skills on voice-assisted manikins, and receive your AHA eCard immediately.
Every skill is evaluated using the same AHA-calibrated metrics nationwide. Your certification reflects verified competence, not subjective assessment.
Receive immediate, precise feedback on compression depth, rate, hand placement, and ventilations. Self-correct in real time for true skill mastery.
No more waiting for scheduled classes. Complete your training on your timeline and get certified the same day without sitting through lengthy lectures.
Practice as many times as you need in a comfortable, private environment. The system guides you without pressure or judgment.

Convenient CPR Verification Station locations throughout Orange County
It's an automated, self-service platform where you can earn or renew your American Heart Association CPR certification using voice-guided manikins and real-time feedback technology. You complete the knowledge portion online and demonstrate hands-on skills at the station.
You can obtain BLS (Basic Life Support), ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support), PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support), and Heartsaver CPR for the general public.
Most students take 30 to 75 minutes to complete the online module and 20 to 45 minutes for the in-person skills check. Both sessions are streamlined and timing may vary based on experience.
The certification is identical and fully recognized by the AHA. The main differences are: (1) You learn at your own pace rather than in a scheduled group, (2) You receive objective, technology-based feedback rather than subjective instructor evaluation, and (3) You have flexible scheduling rather than waiting for class availability.
You can use it for both initial certification and renewals for BLS, ACLS, and PALS. Whether it's your first time or you're renewing, the process is the same.
You can retry immediately. The CPR Verification Station provides instant feedback on what needs improvement, so you can practice and attempt verification again. There's no limit on practice attempts.
