This course is intended for participants who work or volunteer in a health care setting. You will complete the BLS for Healthcare Providers training through a self-paced online module and then take an hourlong in-person skills assessment.
After you sign up for your skills assessment, you will get the course key via email the next business day from the American Heart Association (AHA) to start your online learning. This email will come from eLearning.heart.org. If you cannot find this email and are not using a Sharp HealthCare email account, please check your junk and trash folders before contacting us.
You must finish the online course and present your completion certificate at the time you choose for your in-person assessment.
Upon successful completion of the in-person skills assessment, students will receive an email the next business day with instructions on claiming their two-year Course Completion eCard through the AHA’s website. Paper cards will no longer be distributed at the assessment.

- Once purchased, your course key will be e-mailed to you by 5 pm the next business day after purchase.
- The e-mail that you receive will be from eLearning.heart.org and will include a link to the website where you will activate your course key and complete the checkpoints, written evaluation and evaluation survey.

Skills Remediation and the In-Person Skills Assessment
There is no skills remediation during the in-person assessment. Sharp Healthcare considers this a challenge course for those who are proficient in CPR. The assessment takes about 1.0 to 1.5 hours.
Course Cancellation Policy
Classes may be cancelled due to low enrollment. If a class is cancelled, you will be notified by phone two days before the class and will have the opportunity to attend another date or receive a full refund of the registration fee.
Special Needs Assistance
At the skills assessment, you will be practicing skills that require working on the floor and having hands-on contact with the mannequins and fellow students. If you have any physical conditions that might prevent these activities, please contact the Sharp Cardiac Training Center at 619-740-4226.
Arrival
Effective June 8, 2020, face coverings are required to be worn at all of Sharp’s non-medical facilities when physical distancing of 6 feet or more is not possible and in common areas such as stairwells, elevators, break rooms, lobbies and hallways. You must bring a face covering with you to class. Anyone who does not have a face covering will be asked to reschedule.
Due to recommended precautions against coronavirus (COVID-19), we will not have any students demonstrate breathing directly into a mask, mouthpiece or manikin. For purposes of our classes, you will practice and test using a bag-valve-mask for respirations. Before we start class, we ask that you wash your hands and use hand sanitizer as needed during the class. If you are currently ill, especially if you have respiratory symptoms, please notify the instructor and reschedule for another date once you are well.
