HeartCode® BLS (Online Part 1) And Skills Tests

HeartCode® Basic Life Support (Online Part 1) is a web-based, self-paced instructional program that uses eSimulation technology to allow students to assess and treat patients in virtual healthcare settings. In this environment, students apply their knowledge to real-time decision-making and skills development. Debriefings and coaching are provided immediately after each simulation to facilitate learning.

The American Heart Association’s Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers (Online Part 1) Course is web-based, accessible 24 hours a day, and provides a flexible alternative to classroom training. Through case-based scenarios, interactive activities and videos, this course teaches the concepts of both single-rescuer and team basic life support.

After completing the cognitive portion of the course, students practice and test their skills with an AHA Instructor or on a voice-assisted manikin (VAM) system. Upon successful completion of the cognitive and skills tests, students receive a course completion card.

Skills sessions can be sold separately or, more commonly, with a bundle package.
