BLS is designed for healthcare providers and clinical students. It covers high-quality adult, child, and infant CPR, AED use, bag-mask ventilation, and team roles in clinical settings. Heartsaver CPR/AED is for non-clinical responders such as teachers, childcare staff, coaches, and the general public. It teaches adult/child/infant CPR, AED use, and choking relief for workplace and community settings.
ACLS is for teams who care for adults (ER, ICU, telemetry, anesthesia, EMS, hospitalists). It focuses on adult arrest, rhythms, airway, and medication algorithms. PALS is for those who care for infants and children (pediatrics, ED, PICU, school nurses). It covers pediatric assessment, respiratory failure, shock, and pediatric arrest algorithms.
Follow your employer or program policy. Many professionals with an expired card choose the initial course to refresh skills, while some employers accept a renewal if you’re still current on knowledge. If you’re unsure—or feel rusty—the initial course is the safer choice.
An AHA eCard is an electronic course completion card issued after successful completion of an American Heart Association course. It provides proof of course completion and can be viewed, saved, printed, and verified online by students and employers. AHA course completion eCards are generally valid for two years.
Most CPR classes take 3–12 hours. A standard BLS class runs about 3–5 hours. ACLS usually takes 12–16 hours and is often spread over 3–4 days.
No. For adults, give 30 chest compressions followed by 2 breaths (30:2), whether there is one rescuer or two. For children and infants, use 30:2 with one rescuer and 15:2 when two BLS-trained rescuers are working together. Once an advanced airway is in place, the ratio no longer applies: compressions continue without pausing and breaths are given at a set rate. Keep going until the person starts breathing normally or moving, an AED is ready (follow its prompts, then restart compressions right after any shock), or EMS takes over. Practice adult, child and infant CPR on manikins in a hands-on class.
