ACCREDITED TRAINING SITE & EXPERIENCED BLS INSTRUCTORS
Your BLS class instructors are highly experienced ER and Trauma nurses from local hospitals and ERs. Each instructor is certified by the American Heart Association and provided by The Heart Center, a nationally accredited AHA training site.
The Heart Center offers BLS classes at many Kaiser Permanente locations throughout Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. You can also register for Heart Center classes at Reston Hospital, Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center, and our main location in Alexandria, Virginia.
Important: Please read the information below before registering for a class.
You may choose between a traditional or online course.
The Heart Center offers classroom-based BLS classes at many different Kaiser Medical Centers (see below for details). There is no web-based portion to these classes. Classes are held on a rotating schedule, and it is the responsibility of Kaiser employees to find a class that fits their schedule. The Medical Center can filter the calendar to make finding a class easier.
Please visit our traditional class calendar page for more details.
Online classes allow students to take the course at their own pace, either in the comfort of their home or in the workplace. Once the online class has been completed, the student must register (via our website) for an in-person skills check. There is a separate fee for the class and the skills check. Skills checks are held at Kaiser Permanente Medical Centers and also weekly at our main location in Alexandria.
Please visit our online class calendar page for more details.
Certification cards will be mailed to Kaiser students within 5-10 days of successful completion of the course.
