Flexible American Heart Association® Training with Safety Training Seminars

Healthcare professionals and students in Oakland, California now have access to a flexible, modern way to complete American Heart Association® BLS, ACLS, and PALS training—without attending a scheduled classroom course. Safety Training Seminars offers Self-Guided Learning™ courses completed through a combination of online learning and hands-on skills verification at a CPR Verification Station™ learning center. With three convenient Oakland locations, learners can complete required training on their own schedule while meeting American Heart Association guidelines.


What Is Self-Guided Learning™?

Self-Guided Learning™ is an American Heart Association educational approach that combines two required components:

  1. Self-paced online cognitive learning

  2. A self-guided, hands-on skills session completed at a CPR Verification Station™ learning center

Learners complete both components independently. Upon successful completion, they receive an American Heart Association Course Completion eCard for BLS, ACLS, or PALS. This approach is ideal for busy healthcare professionals who want flexibility without compromising training quality or compliance.


HeartCode® Complete Courses for BLS, ACLS, and PALS

At Safety Training Seminars in Oakland, Self-Guided Learning™ is offered through HeartCode® Complete courses for:

  • Basic Life Support (BLS)

  • Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS)

  • Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)

Each HeartCode® Complete course includes a True Adaptive™ online learning activity followed by a self-guided skills session at a CPR Verification Station™ learning center. These courses follow a structured American Heart Association pathway designed for both initial and renewal learners.

HeartCode® is a trademark of the American Heart Association.


True Adaptive™ Online Learning: Personalized and Efficient

The online portion of HeartCode® Complete uses True Adaptive™ learning powered by Area9 Lyceum. This technology continuously assesses learner knowledge and confidence, dynamically adjusting content to focus on individual knowledge gaps.

Key features of the online learning activity include:

  • Self-paced, adaptive online learning

  • Accessible on desktop, laptop, or tablet

  • Personalized learning pathways

  • Scenario- and algorithm-based content

  • Efficient, competency-focused design

Learners must complete the online learning activity before attending the skills session. Completion of the online portion alone does not result in an American Heart Association Course Completion eCard.


Self-Guided Skills Sessions at a CPR Verification Station™ Learning Center

After completing the online learning activity, learners schedule and complete their hands-on skills session at one of Safety Training Seminars’ three CPR Verification Station™ learning centers in Oakland.

During the self-guided skills session:

  • Skills are completed independently, without an instructor

  • Learners receive real-time, objective performance feedback

  • CPR performance is measured against AHA-defined criteria

  • Practice may be repeated as needed to achieve a passing score

The CPR Verification Station™ learning center objectively verifies psychomotor skills such as compressions, ventilations, and two-rescuer CPR. Once both course components are successfully completed, learners are eligible to receive their American Heart Association Course Completion eCard 


Three Convenient Oakland Locations

Safety Training Seminars makes it easy for learners across Oakland to access Self-Guided Learning™. With three CPR Verification Station™ learning centers strategically located throughout the city, learners can choose a location that fits their commute, schedule, and personal needs.

This local availability is especially valuable for:

  • Hospital and clinic staff

  • Allied healthcare professionals

  • Nursing and medical students

  • EMS and prehospital providers

  • Professionals renewing BLS, ACLS, or PALS training


The Learner Journey: Simple and Flexible

Following the American Heart Association-approved Self-Guided Learning™ pathway, learners complete training in five clear steps:

  1. Enroll in a Self-Guided Learning™ course for BLS, ACLS, or PALS

  2. Complete the online learning activity at your own pace

  3. Schedule a self-guided skills session at a CPR Verification Station™ learning center in Oakland

  4. Complete hands-on skills with real-time feedback

  5. Receive your American Heart Association Course Completion eCard upon successful completion

This streamlined process removes the need for fixed class times while maintaining rigorous, standardized skills verification.
