IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT (4/29/2021):  Due to construction, we will not be offering BLS skills checks at 300P Atrium until further notice.  The location has been moved to CEPD Training Center at 1850 Embarcadero Rd, Palo Alto, CA 94303.  

SHC offers BLS skills in-person and HeartCode course online combination. Blended learning is a combination of eLearning, in which a student completes part of the course in a self-directed manner online, followed by a hands-on skills session. The hands-on skills session is completed in person with an AHA Instructor. 

The date you register for is the date you will attend your in-person skills assessment.  Your BLS HeartCode link will be emailed within 48 business hours after you sign up. 

This course is for current BLS certified individuals and those who have expired cards.  HeartCode® BLS Online is a self-directed, comprehensive eLearning program.  Students can work at their own pace applying their knowledge to real-time decision making.  BLS Online consists of a cognitive portion that is completed online before attending your scheduled skills session. 


The course incorporates the 2020 AHA Guidelines and is structured as follows:

• Online adaptive learning technology to allow learners to acquire and demonstrate Basic Life Support skills using a personalized learning path that adapts in real time to a learner’s performance

• Students schedule an in-person one hour skills assessment using high fidelity manikins with real-time audio and visual feedback. Skills assessment with an AHA Instructor is required to earn a valid AHA BLS Provider e-Card that is valid for two years.

• No written exam required the BLS HeartCode online certificate of completion is required to attend the in-person skill assessment.
