Your Instructor, Nate

Nate is a U.S. Army veteran and a working North Carolina firefighter and EMT, certified since 2016. For BLS, that matters: this isn't a course he reviews once every two years, it's what he runs on real calls. He's used bag-valve-masks, worked codes as part of a team, and brought people back.

You'll learn the provider skills from someone who uses them for a living, and who can tell you what a rhythm actually looks like when it counts, not just what the manikin wants to see.

Common BLS Questions

Is this the AHA BLS Provider course?

Yes. You earn an American Heart Association BLS Provider e-card, the one hospitals, schools, and clinicals ask for.

Can I use this to renew?

Yes. Renewals and first-time certifications both run in the same class, and renewals usually move faster since you already know the skills.

My card already expired. Is that a problem?

No. If your BLS card has lapsed, you just take the full class rather than a shortened renewal. You'll walk out current either way.

Can you certify my whole team on-site?

Yes. The on-site group option ($80 per person) brings BLS to your clinic, office, or facility so your staff trains together. Send your headcount for scheduling.
