BLS Certification in Washington, D.C.
The Basic Life Support (BLS) course gives medical professionals the knowledge and hands-on practice needed to respond confidently in life-threatening situations. Throughout the training, you’ll learn how to perform high-quality chest compressions, deliver rescue breaths using a bag-mask device, and safely operate an automated external defibrillator (AED). You’ll also work through realistic clinical scenarios that simulate the fast-paced nature of hospital and emergency care settings, both as an individual and as part of a response team. This practical, in-depth course prepares you to stay calm under pressure and provide effective care when every second counts. Once completed, you’ll receive an American Heart Association (AHA) BLS certification, valid for two years.
ACLS Certification in Washington, D.C.
If you’re an experienced healthcare professional who deals with cardiac or respiratory emergencies, this course builds on what you already know. Instead of repeating the basics, we dive into the skills that matter most- reading ECGs accurately, managing airways under pressure, using life-saving medications, and working smoothly with a team during a crisis. The course includes a mix of flexible online learning (so you can go through the material when it suits you) and a practical, in-person session where you’ll get hands-on practice and real-time guidance. By the end, you’ll walk away with confidence to handle crucial situations.
PALS Certification in Washington, D.C.
The Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) course is essential for medical professionals who care for infants and children. You’ll learn to assess pediatric patients, manage respiratory failure, handle pediatric cardiac arrest, and respond to shock. You’ll also gain experience working as part of a pediatric emergency response team. After completing the course, you’ll receive a two-year American Heart Association PALS certification.
First AID, CPR, AED Program in Washington, D.C.
Our First Aid, CPR, and AED program in Washington, D.C. prepares you to handle real-life emergencies with calm and confidence. In one hands-on course, you'll learn how to perform CPR, use an AED, assist choking victims, treat wounds, burns, allergic reactions, broken bones, and respond to seizures and heat-related issues. Ideal for teachers, coaches, office staff, and anyone who wants to be prepared, this training combines practical skills with clear instruction. Upon successful completion, you’ll receive a two-year certification from the American Heart Association.
