HeartCode BLS is the American Heart Association's blended BLS course: you finish the online part on your own time, then come to our Rancho Cucamonga classroom near SR-210 and I-15 for a hands-on skills session of about 1 hour. Pass it and your AHA BLS Provider eCard is issued the same day.
American Heart Association Training Site and American Red Cross Training Provider
Every course follows current American Heart Association or American Red Cross guidelines, and your certification card is issued the same day you pass.

Offices on Arrow Route, Milliken Avenue and Haven Avenue can send staff through the online part on their own time, then have everyone test together.
