LIFE SUPPORT

Can I take BLS as part of my ACLS course?

According to the American Heart Association, there are a few mechanisms to obtaining BLS during ACLS.  However, this adds considerable time to a provider or renewal class.  

​   

​

  In order to obtain a  BLS card on the same day as your course:

1)  ​Students must complete the       online "Heart Code" course, 

       prior to class

 2) You must bring the Heart             Code Completion certificate

 3) After your ACLS/PALS course,       we will complete the         

     additional testing required to       receive your BLS card.

​​ALL additional skills testing will be completed

after the ACLS or PALS courses. 

Due to the additional testing required, this must be discussed prior to the class ​
