Need BLS certification or renewal for healthcare, EMS, coaching, or work?

We will be offering an American Heart Association BLS Skills Session on June 13.

This blended learning format allows students to complete the online HeartCode® BLS course at their own pace before attending the in-person skills session.

This is a great option for busy schedules and provides flexibility while still completing the required hands-on skills testing.
