The course comprises an online 3-hour cognitive portion to be completed prior to class, and an in-person 3-hour skills practice/testing session with a certified instructor. Both segments are mandatory for certification.  The online portion will provide you access to a certificate of completion once the course content and a brief online survey are completed.  Students must bring the certificate of completion to class with them or email it to prior to class.  We will be unable to complete your certification without the online portion.  When both the online and in-person portions are successfully completed you are issued a 2-year BLS Provider Certification.
