This web-blended Basic Life Support (BLS) course is designed for healthcare professionals and students seeking an alternative to traditional American Heart Association (AHA) classroom training. Ideal for both first-time and renewal certification, this flexible format combines online learning with a hands-on manikin skills lab using voice-assisted technology.
Through the AHA Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) program, students complete self-paced online learning modules followed by a 30-minute skills lab utilizing voice-assisted manikins (VAM) for real-time feedback and assessment. This convenient format allows students to earn their AHA BLS Provider credential in significantly less time than the traditional class-based process. The skills lab is available Monday through Friday, from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM (by appointment only)
