Courses Offered:

Heartsaver CPR: The Heartsaver CPR Course trains rescuers in CPR, choking relief, and use of barrier devices for victims of all ages. It is appropriate for most lay persons who may be first responders to an emergency situation and are required by their employer to complete CPR training (e.g., teachers). A course completion card is issued to those who successfully complete the course skills test.

Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers: Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers teaches CPR and relief of foreign-body airway obstruction skills for adult and pediatric victims. It includes training on two-rescuer CPR and the use of bag-masks and automated external defibrillators (AED). Course length is approximately 4½ hours (includes lunch break - you must bring your own lunch - lunch is NOT provided). Successful completion of skills testing and written examination are required to receive a BLS Healthcare Provider Course Completion Card. 

BLS Healthcare Provider Online Renewal Course: This course is a review of CPR skills for the healthcare provider. Healthcare providers complete 12 mandatory checkpoints and the written exam online (www.onlineaha.org l $17.50). Skills testing is then conducted by appointment. Photo I.D., proof of current Healthcare Provider certification, and the BLS Healthcare Provider Online Renewal Course Completion Certificate are required for skills testing. Course completion cards are issued to those who provide appropriate documentation and successfully complete skills testing. The skills testing fee is based on student skill level, amount of remediation needed, and time required for testing.

BLS for Healthcare Providers l Incoming Nursing Students: The Health Promotion and Education Center offers the BLS for Healthcare Providers Course and renewal skills testing (see descriptions above) for eligible incoming nursing students.
