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.

Leveraging digital learning technologies
Self-directed learning
With real-time guidance from our software, healthcare professionals can conduct self-directed training at their own pace.
True Adaptive Learning
Innovative algorithm adapts education in real time to each learner’s level of expertise to deliver the most efficient learning path.
Anytime, anywhere, on any device
Featuring responsive design, the eLearning portion can be accessed online anytime, anywhere on a variety of devices.
Verified performance
Transform your CPR training
Resource-Efficient
HeartCode Complete reduces expenses while allowing instructors to focus on quality improvement measures and team training.
Objective skills feedback
Standardized skills training is completed on a Simulation Station featuring real-time, audiovisual directive feedback for high-quality CPR skills.
Streamlined Administration
Monitoring and tracking course completion status and renewals can be automated, taking much less time to manage compliance.
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 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.
RQI: Resuscitation Quality Improvement
The AHA’s RQI programs replaces skills decay with verified competence and saves more lives through low-dose, high-frequency training. The quarterly RQI curriculum delivers cognitive eLearning and self-directed skills training to achieve mastery learning of high-quality resuscitation skills.
HeartCode Online
HeartCode Online is the self-directed eLearning component of the American Heart Association’s (AHA) blended learning courses that combine cognitive online learning with in-classroom, Instructor-led skills practice and testing.
