HeartCode® BLS is the online portion of the BLS and is taken in blended-learning format.
Once students pass the included exam at the end of the online portion, they participate in a classroom skills practice and testing. Successful completion of both the online and classroom portions, including skills practice and testing with a certified American Heart Association BLS Instructor, qualifies students for a BLS provider course card.
The online program includes eSimulations and other interactive activities, and allows students to choose between in-facility and pre-hospital tracks to best meet their learning needs. PC and Mac® compatible.
