BLS Class Schedule
Even though classes are scheduled 7 days a week, you MUST have a reservation to attend classes. Seats in classes are limited and we need to have the correct cards on hand to issue so that you do not have to wait for your certification. Sometimes classes do not have any students sign up for that day and instructors are not in the office unless there are classes to teach.

Online BLS Class with 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 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 still have to demonstrate your CPR skills on the practice manikins, but you are only in the office for 45 minutes to perform the skills checkoff portion because you complete the majority of the work from home before coming into the office to finish.
This option covers all the same material as the classroom option and you get the same certification. This provides students more flexibility for to work with their busy personal and work schedules.
Online Skills Checkoffs are available 7 days a week in Conyers and are 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.
