CLASS INSTRUCTIONS:

Dear BLS Course Student:

Welcome to the HeartCode® BLS Course. This course has 2 components: an online portion and an instructor-led classroom portion. You must complete the online portion first. You can access the online portion of the course by going to https://elearning.heart.org/course/437. The online portion cost is $34.00. The cost of the in-person skills instruction is $65.00. Class time usually runs 2 hours.

It is recommended to obtain the BLS textbook prior to class. Students can purchase classroom supplies from AHA directly at https://shopcpr.heart.org/bls. The eBook cost is $15.00. (make sure it is the 2020 guideline addition). It cannot be reprinted, downloaded or copied. It will not disappear over time like some books do after a semester. The manual /textbook is $17.50. AHA also offers ebook digital reference cards for $9.25. Feel free to bring your actual provider manual or electronic reader to the classroom to utilize them during class as a reference tool.

Important: You must print the certificate of completion at the end of the online portion. You will need to give this to your instructor when you attend the classroom portion. It is necessary to show that you completed the online portion. If you do not have your certificate of completion, you will not be able to complete the skills practice and testing of the course. If you have trouble printing the certificate, then just email it to me at HCTCLI30@gmail.com.

Location: 625 middle country road, Coram – next to coram bowling alley. Park in the back/rear of the building. Entrance is in the back of the building. Go down the stairs, through the grey door. I’m in the last room at the end of the hallway.
