HeartCode® BLS
The AHA’s most in-depth Basic Life Support course, built for healthcare professionals — blended online learning plus an in-person skills session.
Course overview
HeartCode BLS is the American Heart Association’s most in-depth Basic Life Support course, designed for the healthcare industry — nurses, physicians, EMS, dental, and clinical support staff. Students complete the adaptive cognitive portion online at their own pace, then attend a hands-on, in-person skills session where a Rescue Partners AHA Instructor verifies competency in high-quality CPR, AED use, bag-mask ventilation, and team-based resuscitation for adults, children, and infants.

How certification & check-in works
Students complete the online portion first, then check in to the in-person skills session on their phone in under a minute. Once the instructor verifies skills and marks the roster entry "Completed," the student receives their 2-year AHA BLS Provider eCard.
