BLS Heartcode Class Description

HeartCode BLS is the American Heart Association’s blended‑learning version of the Basic Life Support course. You complete the cognitive portion online at your own pace, then finish with an in‑person skills check to earn the official AHA BLS Provider eCard. 

This course has 2 components: an online portion and an instructor-led classroom portion. You must complete the online portion first. You can access the online portion by clicking on this link: https://shopcpr.heart.org/heartcode-bls. Important: You must print the certificate of completion at the end of the online portion. You will need to give this to your instructor when you attend the classroom portion or email it. It is necessary to show that you completed the online portion. If you do not have your certificate of completion, you will not be able to complete the skills practice and testing of the course.
