BLS HeartCode Skills Testing-Original

For those wishing to complete the American Heart Association’s Basic Life Support Provider course as a blended learning option (online portion, followed by a hands-on skills session). The BLS HeartCode Original skills testing is specifically for individuals wishing to obtain an American Heart Association Basic Life Support Provider certification for the first time or for those that have an AHA BLS Provider certification that expired more than a year ago. If you have a current AHA BLS Provider certification or your certification expired less than a year ago, please visit the BLS HeartCode Refresher Skills Testing registration page instead. 

Prior to registering for the in-person skills testing, students must first complete the online didactic portion on the American Heart Association website. Upon successful completion of the AHA HeartCode BLS online portion, candidates may register for the skills testing. Proof of completion of the online segment must be presented. To schedule the skills testing appointment, please call the office at 845-431-8390. Appointments are scheduled at least one week in advance of the testing date.

Individuals will receive their AHA BLS Provider certification within 14 business days of completing the skills testing session.
