For example, you could schedule BLS at 8:00 AM, ACLS at 9:00 AM, and PALS at 10:00 AM. Each course must be booked separately through samedaycpr.com.

If your eCard doesn’t arrive, call or text 888-840-5527 for assistance with having it resent.
Our skills stations use official AHA real-time feedback manikins and a virtual coach to guide you through your evaluation. The equipment measures your compression rate, compression depth, chest recoil, and ventilation in real time, helping you determine whether your performance meets AHA standards.
Our staff and instructors monitor every station by camera and are available to communicate with you if you need assistance. No prior CPR experience is required.
