Are PBCPR classes approved by the American Heart Association?
Yes and No. We offer AHA and HSI courses.
If you purchase BLS, ACLS or PALS, these are AHA (American Heart Association) courses.
If you purchase CPR/AED/First Aid, these are HSI (Health & Safety Institute) courses, an OSHA preferred certification.
What is Hybrid and Skills Session?
All courses have the Hybrid option. This means you complete the Videos and/or Test Online at your own pace; then attend a Skills Session for the Hands-On Skills portion. We offer Skills Sessions as scheduled. Hybrid courses are approved by American Heart Association and OSHA/MSHA. Every course requires an in person session with a certified instructor. You receive the SAME card as the full classroom course in less time!
Why does PBCPR only offer Hybrid classes for ACLS & PALS?
We have been proud AHA Instructors for over 25 years. Due to the recent updates, we have chosen to have students complete the course at their convenience, and then attend a Skills Sessions that saves time while ensuring Hands-On practice to meet your needs. Classroom BLS courses are available in your facility or ours. Contact us for info: CPRinfo@PBCPR.com
