Basic Life Support (BLS)

In an ever-evolving world, traditional healthcare education models may no longer be the most effective. Deeply rooted in the latest science, the American Heart Association’s (AHA) HeartCode Complete programs offer a flexible and efficient way to conduct resuscitation training. Self-paced eLearning is combined with self-directed hands-on skills training to help learners acquire and demonstrate life-saving skills.

Note: Students who complete the BLS HeartCode Complete course receive the same card as those who complete the traditional classroom course.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Register for the HeartCode Complete Course with Madison Memorial Hospital Education. Once we receive your registration we will build you into this special American Heart Association program. You will receive an email notifying you once that has been built and it will contain other useful information.
  2. Complete the online course: Log onto the RQI 1Stop program and complete the cognitive portion of the blended learning course. This adaptive learning online course is estimated to take 1-2 hours.
  3. Once the “eLearning” portion of the HeartCode® course has been completed, you will schedule a session for the “hands-on practice and testing” using our specialized self-directed Simulation Station and our voice-assisted manikin (VAM).
  4. Complete your SELF-GUIDED skill pass-off using our special “voice-assisted manikin” station. It is estimated to take less than 30 minutes to complete the hands-on session. Same-day appointments are typically available.

Training with VAMs provides students with real-time, objective audio feedback on their performance, adding a new level of realism and precision to CPR training.

  • Please allow 24-48 hours to receive your course link email.
  • This course is non-refundable.
  • Students must complete the cognitive and hands-on session within 90 days of course purchase.

The actual time & date of your skill session will be booked ONCE YOU HAVE COMPLETED the included online course. Same-day appointments are typically available.
