Yes, we provide the AHA BLS (Basic Life Support) for Healthcare Providers certification and eCard.

PulseCPR AHA classes exceeds the standards set by OSHA and by the 2025 American Heart Association guidelines for CPR, BLS and First Aid.

The American Heart Association and the American Red Cross offer traditional CPR Classes to the general public that are conducted by a certified instructor. Participants are required to learn how to administer compressions and rescue breathing in accordance with guidelines set forth by the AHA and ARC.

While traditional CPR Classes have been taught for 50 years and have changed little throughout time. There is another certification tailor-made for Healthcare professions. It’s called BLS (Basic Life Support) which incorporates 2 person CPR. This course covers a lot more than just cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills – it also teaches skill sets such as how to help someone who’s choking and when to use an AED.

All of our CPR & emergency response certifications are good for 2 years.

For our general level CPR, AED, and First Aid classes you will receive eCard certification card on the same day.

For BLS/Healthcare Providers and Pediatric CPR and First Aid classes you will receive a digital card via e-mail within 24 hours after your class is complete.

Class involves hands-on practice so it is best if you wear comfortable clothes. You will be on the floor and bending a lot during practice. If you have long hair, it’s best to wear it back.

Each student needs to have access to the appropriate Student Manual during, and after the class. If you already own or have access to the most current version, you‘ll need to bring it with you to class. If you don’t own or have access to one, you will need to purchase a book.
