HeartCode Complete

Flexible and Efficient Resuscitation Training

A Path to Training Success

In an ever-evolving world, traditional healthcare education models may no longer be the most effective. Widespread healthcare staff shortages drive the need to optimize time and resources while delivering consistent, high-quality resuscitation to save more lives.

Deeply rooted in the latest science, the American Heart Association’s (AHA) HeartCode Complete programs offer a flexible and efficient way to conduct resuscitation training. Self-paced eLearning is combined with self-directed hands-on skills training to help learners acquire and demonstrate life-saving skills.

HeartCode Complete Programme

The Learner Journey

The HeartCode Complete programs are made up of an eLearning component and skills training. To receive an AHA Course Completion eCard, learners complete the eLearning portion at their convenience followed by a self-directed skills assessment at a Simulation Station.

New 2020 Guidelines – Upgraded HeartCode Courses

HeartCode is evolving. The AHA released new 2020 Guidelines for CPR & ECC on October 21, 2020. Using this cutting-edge new science, the HeartCode courses have been upgraded to a new edition featuring the most advanced adaptive learning algorithm.

  • The AHA's HeartCode programs feature an innovative True Adaptive learning experience using a personalized algorithm that adapts in real time to the learner’s specific expertise.
  • All content reflects the 2020 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC
  • Consistent learning objectives across programs​
  • Responsive design ensures compatibility on mobile devices and tablets​
  • All curricula are contextualized for an in-hospital and pre-hospital learning experience​
  • Streamlined Cognitive Assessment Activity cases allow learners to apply their knowledge to a scenario-based patient case  ​
  • All curricula are web-accessible through inclusive design (WCAG 2.1 AA)
  • Ease of use for more learners – works on all common browsers

HeartCode Complete Program

Basic Life Support (BLS) Training

The AHA’s BLS course trains participants to promptly recognize several life-threatening emergencies, give high-quality chest compressions, deliver appropriate ventilations, and provide early use of an AED.

The course is designed for healthcare professionals and other personnel who need to know how to perform CPR and other basic cardiovascular life support skills in a wide variety of in-facility and prehospital settings.

Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) Training

The AHA’s ACLS course builds on the foundation of lifesaving BLS skills, emphasizing the importance of preventing cardiac arrest, early and continuous high-quality CPR, and high-performing teams.

The course is designed for healthcare professionals who either direct or participate in the management of cardiopulmonary arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies and for personnel in emergency response.
