Medical professionals know the drill. Your Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), or Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) expiration date is looming. You need to renew, but your shift schedule is chaotic. Finding a six-hour block for a classroom course feels impossible.
There is a better way. Safety Training Seminars now offers American Heart Association® Self-Guided Learning™ courses at our San Leandro office, located at 433 Callan Ave #307. This approach combines the convenience of online cognitive learning with a hands-on, self-guided skills session, allowing you to maintain compliance without disrupting your life.
For decades, the standard for resuscitation training involved sitting in a classroom for hours, watching videos, and waiting for an instructor to watch you compress a manikin’s chest. While effective, this model lacks flexibility.
The American Heart Association® has introduced Self-Guided Learning™ courses to solve this problem. This isn’t just an online video. It is a robust, two-part system designed for busy healthcare providers who need autonomy over their schedule.
You complete the cognitive portion online at your own pace. Then, you visit our CPR Verification Station™ learning center in San Leandro to complete your psychomotor skills. No appointment with an instructor is necessary for the skills session—you simply schedule your time slot and go.
One of the biggest frustrations for experienced clinicians is sitting through lectures on topics they mastered years ago. Self-Guided Learning™ courses utilize True Adaptive™ learning powered by Area9 Lyceum.
This technology respects your existing knowledge. The online learning activity continuously assesses your competence and confidence. If you demonstrate mastery of a specific algorithm or concept, the system moves you forward. If it detects a knowledge gap, it provides targeted content to help you master that specific area.
This means you spend time only on what you need to learn. For a seasoned ICU nurse or a paramedic with decades of experience, this can significantly reduce the time spent on the cognitive portion of the course compared to a traditional linear module.
The hands-on skills session is often the bottleneck in traditional blended learning. You usually have to coordinate with an instructor’s schedule. With our San Leandro CPR Verification Station™ learning center, that bottleneck disappears.
The CPR Verification Station™ is a specialized kiosk connected to a high-fidelity voice-assisted manikin. It provides a self-guided skills session where you perform compressions and ventilations just as you would in a real scenario.
Human instructors, despite their best efforts, can be subjective. They might miss that your compression depth is 1.9 inches instead of 2.0 inches, or that your recoil isn’t quite complete.
The CPR Verification Station™ learning center uses sensors to provide real-time, objective performance feedback. The system measures your performance against precise American Heart Association® criteria. You get immediate visual and audio directives to adjust your rate, depth, or volume.
This ensures that every provider who passes has demonstrated true competence. It eliminates the variability of human observation and ensures you leave confident in your skills.
Performance anxiety is real, even for medical pros. Practicing in front of a class can be stressful. The self-guided nature of the CPR Verification Station™ allows you to practice independently.
If you don’t pass a skill on the first attempt, the system provides feedback on what went wrong. You can repeat the practice as needed until you achieve the required standard. It is a judgment-free zone focused entirely on mastery.
At our San Leandro location on Callan Ave, we offer the full suite of HeartCode® Complete courses.
This course covers single-rescuer and multi-rescuer basic life support skills for application in both prehospital and in-facility environments, with a focus on high-quality CPR and team dynamics.
Designed for healthcare professionals who either direct or participate in the management of cardiopulmonary arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies. This covers advanced airway management, related pharmacology, and high-performance team dynamics.
This course aims to improve the quality of care provided to seriously ill or injured children, resulting in improved outcomes. It covers the systematic approach to pediatric assessment, basic life support, PALS treatment algorithms, and effective resuscitation team dynamics.
Note: These are HeartCode® Complete courses. They are distinct from the Resuscitation Quality Improvement® (RQI®) program, which is a low-dose, high-frequency model used by hospitals. Our courses are designed for individual initial or renewal learners.
Getting your American Heart Association Course Completion eCard follows a straightforward path:
We understand that compliance is non-negotiable, but your time is valuable. Our San Leandro office is conveniently located for providers in the East Bay area. By leveraging Self-Guided Learning™ courses, we put you in control of your training.
