CPR training for your whole team, the right card for every role
Dental offices, clinics, med spas, gyms, schools and churches. Find which certification each person needs, then train everyone at once, on-site or online.
Step 1: Which card does each person need?
Clinical staff and front-desk staff often need different courses. Confirm with your licensing board, insurer or accreditor before you book.
| Workplace | Clinical staff usually need | Other staff usually need | Check with |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dental office | BLS with in-person skills test (AHA, Red Cross or board-approved) | CPR/AED | State dental board |
| Medical clinic or urgent care | BLS; ACLS for some roles | CPR/AED and First Aid | Employer policy, accreditor |
| Med spa or IV clinic | BLS; ACLS if sedation or IV therapy | CPR/AED | Medical director |
| Gym or fitness studio | Trainers: CPR/AED (often required by certifying bodies) | CPR/AED | Certifying body, insurer, state AED law |
| School, church or office | Nurses: BLS | CPR/AED and First Aid | OSHA, insurer, state rules |
OSHA has said online-only first aid training does not meet its training standards; hands-on practice is required. Source
Step 2: Choose how to train
Most businesses with clinical staff choose on-site training. Online group accounts suit teams whose employer and board accept online cards.
On-site instructor training
An instructor comes to your location and certifies the group together. HeartCert offers AHA and Red Cross courses on-site, takes requests nationwide, and sells discounted class vouchers for staff who train at different times.
- BLS, ACLS, PALS, CPR/AED, First Aid
- Hands-on skills test included
- One date, no travel for staff
Blended: online + skills check
Staff complete AHA HeartCode online on their own time, then do a short hands-on skills check together, at your office or a local training center.
- Less time away from patients
- Same AHA card as classroom
Online group accounts
One account, many learners, group pricing. Advanced Medical Certification offers group discounts for organizations. Fully online, so only use it where your board and policies accept online cards.

Frequently asked questions
Can my whole team be certified in one session?
Yes. On-site training certifies a group together, and staff who miss the date can use class vouchers later.
Do front-desk staff need BLS?
Usually not. BLS is a healthcare-provider course. Non-clinical staff typically take CPR/AED, sometimes with First Aid. Check your board and policies.
Is online group training enough?
Only where your board, insurer and policies accept online cards. Many dental boards and hospitals require an in-person skills test.
