Online BLS Provider Class and Skills Checkoff

If your schedule is full and you don’t have 3 hours to come to the office for a full class, there is a new online option for the BLS Healthcare Provider class.  The American Heart Association understands that everyone’s time is important and they have set up the video and testing portion for you to do from the comforts of your own home and at your own time and pace.

You will still have to come to the office to demonstrate your CPR skills on the practice manikins, but since you complete the majority of the work at home, you are only in the office for 45 minutes to perform the skills checkoff.  

This option covers all the same material that the classroom option does, but just allows the student to work better with their busy personal and work schedules.  You will also have access to the online information for the 2 years your card is valid, allowing you to review at any time.

Online Skills Checkoffs are available 7 days a week and by APPOINTMENT ONLY. Upon completing the online portion, please print the certificate of completion and email us to schedule a time for your checkoff.  Your certification card will be printed for you at the time you complete the in office portion.  Online or Classroom BLS options are both $75 per person.
