Overview
The AHA Basic Life Support course for healthcare providers and trained first responders, built on the 2025 AHA Guidelines. You practice single-rescuer and team CPR for adults, children and infants, ventilations, AED use and choking relief for in-hospital and out-of-hospital settings. Take it as a full classroom course or a shorter renewal class, as blended learning (HeartCode BLS online, then a hands-on skills session with an instructor), as a skills-only session if you already finished HeartCode BLS, or as a self-guided session on a voice-assisted manikin (adult and infant skills). Every option ends with the same skills standard and an AHA BLS Provider eCard valid for two years.

- Perform high-quality CPR for adults, children and infants
- Use an AED early and correctly

- Relieve choking in adults, children and infants

Questions About This Course
New to BLS or prefer a full class: the classroom course. Card still current: the renewal class. Want less time in the room: blended, where you finish HeartCode BLS online first. Already finished HeartCode BLS: book a skills-only session. All options end in an AHA BLS Provider eCard.
After HeartCode BLS online you complete the adult and infant skills test on an AHA-approved manikin that coaches and scores you by voice. Book it soon after you finish the online portion so the material is fresh.
Open a course, pick a session and select Reserve Seat, then pay on our secure payment page by card or bank account (ACH).
