Who this class is for
BLS is the CPR course many healthcare employers, schools, and licensing boards require by name. This class is built for:
- Nurses, CNAs, and nursing students
- Physicians, PAs, and medical assistants
- Dental staff and dental students
- Respiratory, radiology, and other allied health professionals
- EMTs, paramedics, and first responders
- Students who need BLS before clinical rotations
If your job, your school, or your licensing board requires “AHA BLS for Healthcare Providers,” this is the class.
What’s covered
Taught to the current American Heart Association guidelines, with hands-on practice on manikins:
- High-quality CPR for adults, children, and infants
- Using an AED (automated external defibrillator)
- Rescue breathing, including with a mask
- Working as a team and communicating clearly
- Helping someone who’s choking, whether they’re awake or have passed out
You practice every skill in person, hands-on — because CPR is a physical skill, and practice is what makes it stick when it counts.
Pick the right option
Every BLS option is taught the same hands-on way and earns the same 2-year AHA BLS Provider card. Which one you book depends on your current certification:

Frequently asked questions
Is this the AHA “BLS for Healthcare Providers” course my employer requires?
Yes. This is the American Heart Association BLS Provider course, and you receive an AHA-issued eCard. It’s widely accepted by hospitals, clinics, schools, and licensing boards that require AHA BLS.
Should I book the renewal or the new/expired class?
If your current BLS card hasn’t expired yet, book the renewal ($60, 2 hours) and bring your card. If you’re new to BLS or your card has already lapsed, book New/Expired ($70, 3 hours). Still unsure? Call or text 719-470-0308.
My BLS card already expired — can I still take the renewal class?
No. Once a card lapses, take the New/Expired class instead. The renewal rate is only for providers whose certification is still current.
Do nursing or other healthcare students need BLS or HeartSaver?
Almost always BLS. Nursing, EMS, dental, and allied-health programs require the AHA BLS Provider course before clinical rotations. If your program specifically says HeartSaver, book that instead.
Do I need the workbook before class?
The $20 AHA BLS Provider Manual is added to your booking. Skim it beforehand if you can, but you don’t need to finish it first — everything is covered hands-on in class.
Is there a skills test?
Yes, and it’s included. Hands-on skills practice and the required skills check happen during class — there’s no separate test appointment.
Need to certify a clinical team?
We bring BLS training to your hospital floor, clinic, or office — or host your group at our downtown classroom, scheduled around your shifts.
