Class Enrollment

This course combines online learning with in-person training to meet American Heart Association (AHA) standards for BLS certification. While the majority of the coursework can be completed at home on your computer, in-person skills practice and testing are mandatory to receive your official AHA BLS Provider card. No "online-only, no manikin practice" course meets the requirements for an authentic AHA certification.

Steps to Complete Your Certification

1. Register for the Course
   Sign up for Fast CPR’s American Heart Association BLS eLearning course from the schedule provided. The fee includes all portions of the course, including the in-person skills session and testing.

2. Complete the eLearning Module
   Complete the online course at your own pace, in the comfort of your home. This step provides foundational knowledge for the in-person skills practice.

3. Submit Your Completion Certificate
