About The Course:
Thank you for your interest in our Heartcode Program. HeartCode uses a variety of eLearning assets such as dramatizations, eSimulations, animations, self-directed learning, and interactive activities to teach students knowledge and skills. After completing the online portion, students attend a structured BLS or Heartsaver Hands-On Session with an AHA Instructor. This session focuses on meaningful skills practice, debriefing, team scenarios, discussions of local protocols, and skills testing.
Once you have successfully demonstrated the required skills for the respective discipline, you will be issued your American Heart Association Course Completion e-Card at that time.
Certification: 2 years from the American Heart Association
Course Length: Approximately 30 MINUTES-1 HOUR
