San Francisco healthcare professionals need flexible training options. Busy schedules at UCSF Health, Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, and California Pacific Medical Center leave little time for fixed classroom sessions. Self-Guided Learning™ courses from the American Heart Association® solve that problem. Safety Training Seminars, located at 1951 Taraval Street in San Francisco’s Sunset District, offers BLS, ACLS, and PALS courses using CPR Verification Station™ learning centers—so you complete training on your schedule, not someone else’s.
Here’s exactly how it works.
Self-Guided Learning™ combines two components: self-paced online cognitive learning and a self-guided skills session completed at a CPR Verification Station™ learning center. Learners complete both independently. No fixed class times. No waiting for an instructor.
Upon successful completion of both components, learners receive an American Heart Association Course Completion eCard for BLS, ACLS, or PALS. These eCards meet AHA training requirements and are accepted by hospitals, clinics, dental offices, and healthcare facilities across California and nationwide.
The specific course format offered through Safety Training Seminars is the HeartCode® Complete course—the American Heart Association’s Self-Guided Learning course for BLS, ACLS, and PALS.*
HeartCode® is a trademark of the American Heart Association.
The online portion of a HeartCode® Complete course uses True Adaptive™ learning powered by Area9 Lyceum. This technology continuously assesses your knowledge and confidence level, then adjusts your learning path in real time.
In practice, this means:
BLS online learning takes 1–2 hours. ACLS and PALS each take 2–3 hours. You complete everything independently, at home, at work, or anywhere with a connection.
Completing the online learning activity alone does not result in an AHA Course Completion eCard. You must also complete the self-guided skills session.
Once you finish the online learning activity, you schedule your hands-on skills session at the CPR Verification Station™ learning center at Safety Training Seminars’ Taraval Street location.
The CPR Verification Station learning center uses a Voice-Assisted Manikin (VAM) that provides real-time, objective performance feedback on:
There is no instructor. You complete skills independently. The station objectively measures your performance against AHA-defined criteria. You can repeat practice as needed until you achieve a passing score.
Skills sessions take approximately 30 minutes for BLS, ACLS, and PALS. After successful completion, you receive your American Heart Association Course Completion eCard the same day.
Safety Training Seminars offers the following HeartCode® Complete Self-Guided Learning courses at its San Francisco Sunset location:
