Are you a healthcare provider who needs to earn or renew your American Heart Association's (AHA) Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) and Basic Life Support (BLS) certification cards - but do not have the time needed to complete traditional classroom courses? If so, Florida Training Academy offers the AHA's Online PALS/BLS courses and PALS/BLS Skills Testing sessions in Jacksonville.

We offer flexible schedules and understand the needs of healthcare professionals. Urgent and same-day classes may be available for an additional fee of $50.

What You Will Need to Do:

1) Purchase and complete the Heartcode PALS Online Course (part 1) and the Heartcode BLS Online Course (Part 1) and then email your printed certificates of completion to emathis@FLtraining.com. You can purchase the online Heartcode PALS and online Heartcode BLS courses directly from our website as additional options at check-out.

2) Register for your PALS/BLS Skills Session with Florida Training Academy. Once we have received your two certificates of completion from the online courses, we will inquire about your availability and schedule your Skills Testing Sessions.

3) Mandatory documents to submit: 

1. If renewing, please email a copy of your current AHA BLS and/or PALS card to emathis@fltraining.com.
2. Also, bring a printed copy of your certificates of completion from the online Heartcode PALS and Heartcode BLS course to class.

4) Study before the skills testing session. Also, please be able to access your online Heartcode materials. Students who are unable to recall the information learned during the online course will not pass the hands-on skills assessment. Please come to class prepared to succeed! 

5) Earn your AHA certification card by completing the BLS (adult, child, and infant), airway management, and Pediatric emergency (ex: Respiratory and Cardiovascular) testing stations. Your PALS and BLS cards will be valid for 2 years. Your Certification cards are issued on the same day that you successfully complete the  Skills Testing Sessions.

How to access your Online AHA Course (if purchased from Florida Training Academy)

The access code for your online course may be included on your class confirmation -or- it may be sent in a separate email. Please also check your spam folders. Once the course link has been received, simply login to the AHA's site and click the course link to activate your course. If you are new to the AHA eLearning platform, please create an account. We find that the AHA's eLearning courses are least compatible with Chromebooks.

How to Schedule your AHA Skills Testing Session

Once you have completed AHA's Online Heartcode course, please email the certificate of completion to Emathis@Fltraining.com. At this point, we will inquire about your availability and schedule your skills testing session. If you prefer speaking to someone via phone, please call the office at (904) 551-0918. The receptionist will notify the designated AHA instructor of your request. In all cases, the skills testing session will not be scheduled until the Certificate of Completion from the online course (part 1) has been emailed to our office.

Urgent Skills Testing Sessions: If you urgently need to schedule a skills session, please feel free to contact us. In many cases, we can get you (re)certified on the same day, but the urgent class fee will be charged. Please call us at (904) 551-0918 or email emathis@FLtraining.com in order to register for your Urgent Skills Testing Session.
