What is the AHA HeartCode BLS Blended Learning?
HeartCode BLS is the AHA’s blended learning delivery method for the BLS Course. HeartCode blended learning delivers quality resuscitation education regardless of where providers are located and gives them more control to complete the course at their own pace. It uses a variety of eLearning assets such as dramatizations, eSimulations, animations, self-direct learning, and interactive activities to teach students BLS knowledge and skills. Providers first complete the online portion of HeartCode BLS and then complete a hands-on skills session with a Chicago CPR Academy AHA Instructor.
