About Us

American Heart Association (AHA) BLS CPR courses in Walnut Creek are essential for healthcare professionals and individuals who want to be prepared to save lives during cardiac emergencies. The AHA Basic Life Support (BLS) course teaches the foundational skills needed to respond to life-threatening situations, such as cardiac arrest, choking, and respiratory emergencies in both adults and children.

During the course, participants learn how to perform high-quality chest compressions, provide effective ventilations using a barrier device or bag-mask, and use an automated external defibrillator (AED). The training also includes two-rescuer CPR and the importance of early defibrillation and teamwork in emergency response.

AHA BLS certification is required for many medical professionals, including nurses, EMTs, dental professionals, and hospital staff. It is often offered in two formats: instructor-led classroom sessions or blended learning, which combines online coursework with in-person skills testing. Both formats meet the AHA’s rigorous standards.

Courses are typically completed in one day, and certification cards are valid for two years. Many training centers offer classes every day of the week with flexible schedules to accommodate busy professionals. The certification is nationally recognized and ensures that individuals are confident and capable in responding to real-world emergencies.

Whether you're beginning a medical career or renewing your credentials, an American Heart Association BLS CPR course provides critical lifesaving skills and peace of mind.
