Our Programs


     Shekinah Allied Healthcare Safety and Training offers the following American Heart 

     Association Classes onsite at our training location and offsite at your work locations to

     qualifying groups for your initial and re-certifications:

   :

  • CPR/BLS
  • ACLS, &
  • PALS

       A CPR (BLS) certification is useful for everyone from professional rescuers to laymen.     

       Three primary BLS support level classes are available: BLS for Healthcare Providers,

       Heart Code BLS and BLS for Pre-hospital Providers. Heart Code BLS simulates a

       healthcare environment so students can refine and test their abilities to make decisions

       under pressure. The group’s additional programs for professional rescuers are based on

       the same core curriculum as Heart Code BLS but modified for the responsibilities of

       hospital healthcare providers and those who work in pre-hospital settings.


       The AHA’s BLS Provider Course reflects science and education from the current

        Guidelines Update for CPR and ECC. It teaches both single-rescuer and team basic life

        support skills for application in both prehospital and in-facility environments, with a

        focus on high-quality CPR and team dynamics. In this Instructor-led course, students

        participate in simulated clinical scenarios and learning stations. Students work with an

        AHA BLS Instructor to complete BLS skills practice and skills testing. Students also

        complete a multiple choices exam.




CPR/BLS (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation/Basic Life Support) Initial Certification:


       The BLS for Healthcare Provider CPR course teaches the skills of CPR for victims of all

        ages (including ventilation with a barrier device, and oxygen), use of an AED on adults 

        and children, and relief of FBAO in responsive and non-responsive victims.


         Course Description


      The Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers Course is designed to provide a

       variety of professionals the ability to recognize several life-threatening emergencies,

       provide high-quality CPR, use an AED and also an effective manner in providing relief of

       choking. This AHA Approved course emphasizes CPR skills for victims of all ages and

       includes ventilation with a barrier device and oxygen, along with the use of an AED and

       relief of airway obstruction in responsive and non-responsive victims. The AHA’s BLS 

       Course provides the foundation for saving lives from cardiac arrest. It teaches both

       single-rescuer and team basic life support skills for application in both pre-hospital and 

       in-facility environments, with a focus on high-quality CPR and team dynamics.
