Yes, participants who successfully complete the required hands-on skills session and written exam at the Brunswick, Maryland location receive their official American Heart Association eCard typically within 24 hours of course completion, which is accepted nationwide.
The duration of the classes in Brunswick, MD varies depending on the specific course. Heartsaver courses generally take 3–4 hours, while professional-level courses like BLS or ACLS/PALS renewal courses can take 4–8 hours, depending on whether you complete the cognitive portion online first (blended learning).
BLS (Basic Life Support) is primarily designed for healthcare providers (nurses, paramedics, doctors, etc.) and focuses on high-quality, team-based resuscitation. Heartsaver CPR is designed for the general public, workplace requirements, and non-medical professionals (teachers, fitness trainers, etc.).
Hands-on training, led by an instructor, is essential because CPR involves physical skills like proper chest compression depth, rate, and sealing the mask for rescue breaths. These critical psychomotor skills cannot be adequately assessed or mastered without practical, in-person performance and direct instructor feedback.
Yes, all standard comprehensive CPR courses include specific techniques for adults, children, and infants. You will learn the correct modified compression and ventilation methods unique to pediatric patients.
No, First Aid training is a separate course. While many organizations offer a combined “CPR/First Aid” course (often the Heartsaver category), professional courses like BLS, ACLS, and PALS focus exclusively on cardiac and respiratory emergencies.
Yes, participants enrolling in ACLS or PALS are expected to have a current BLS certification and must be proficient in ECG rhythm recognition, pharmacology, and resuscitation algorithms before attending the advanced course.
American Heart Association (AHA) certification cards for all courses (BLS, ACLS, PALS, and Heartsaver) are valid for two years from the date of issue. Renewal is required every two years to maintain current certification status.
