You will be issued a course key code from keys@onlineaha.org that will enable you to access Part 1 of HeartCode BLS on the AHA website.

To receive an BLS course completion card using this program, students must complete three parts: 

• HeartCode BLS Part 1. Upon successful completion of the online portion, including the written exam, students receive a Part 1 certificate of completion, which must be presented for parts 2 and 3.
• Part 2*, a hands-on skills practice session with an AHA BLS Instructor or using a voice-assisted manikin (VAM) system
• Part 3*, a skills test with an AHA BLS Instructor or using a VAM system

*Parts 2 and 3 should be completed in one “skills practice and testing” session.

The Part 2 & 3 practice and testing session will be completed on your registered date and time at the Tidewater Center for Life Support.  Part 1 must be completed prior to your registered date and time.

The American Heart Association strongly promotes knowledge and proficiency in all AHA courses and has developed instructional materials for this purpose. Use of these materials in an educational course does not represent course sponsorship by the AHA. Any fees charged for such a course, except for a portion of fees needed for AHA course materials, do not represent income to the AHA.
