I had a great experience completing my BLS course for healthcare professionals. Chris was very helpful whenever I had questions and always returned my call/text right away, which I really appreciated. One thing to note is that the classes are completed online, but the course itself is very straightforward, easy to follow, and convenient to complete. Overall, the process was smooth and I had a positive experience. I would definitely recommend them to other healthcare professionals needing their BLS certification.

Very effective course. Wasted no time in getting straight to the point which is HOW TO SAVE A LIFE. Highly recommend this experience to anyone who has anxiety in groups and prefer an independent approach to learning CPR or BLS for infants and adults.

Wonderful and fast. Very amazing customer support as well.
Would recommend to anyone that needs to renew their BLS/CPR certification and wants to complete at their own pace. It was the quickest process I have ever been through, which worked for me! If you have questions or need someone present when taking the course, this might not be the best option for you. However, I would say it was a 10/10 experience and will most likely use this company again for the PALS certification.

This was my first time doing a CPR class with the hybrid format, and I was skeptical. But, wow! Such a seamless, easy process. I will never go back to the old way of sitting in a classroom and then having someone hover over you while you heave and puff. The testing center was conveniently located 20 minutes from my home. And it was a nice private room where I could take my time, although the process was quick. For BLS CPR infant and adult, it only took me about 25-30 minutes for the full skills check. There is a practice mode you can use to get your technique right before you go into the testing mode. That was particularly useful. There are no masks to do breaths, only ambu bags. Which is cool, except if you have really small hands like I do, it may take you a minute to get a technique where you kind of have to press it against your leg to get a full breath. The infant bag is also a little tricky, hard to get a good seal, and may take a minute to get your technique right. But, that's why I like that you could do practice mode and you were in private so no one to judge you while you figured it out. Communication was excellent, I received multiple emails with detailed instructions on the facilities, location and entry details. While there was no instructor there, a phone number was available. Restrooms were conveniently located just outside in the hallway. Facility was easy to find. All around a great experience and will definitely be back in two years!

Faqs

Many Tennessee employers require current CPR certification, especially in healthcare, childcare, education, coaching, and public safety roles such as nurses, EMTs, teachers, coaches, lifeguards, firefighters, and police officers. It is always important to confirm the exact requirement with your licensing board or employer.
Tennessee law does not require CPR certification for the general public, but mandates it for specific licensed professionals and regulated settings like healthcare, schools, and childcare. Emergency Medical Services Providers need a Basic Life Support (BLS) and CPR certification at the Healthcare Provider level, covering adult, child, and infant CPR, bag-valve mask use, and AED operation. Some Emergency Medical Technicians may also require a First Aid course based on employer policies rather than direct state mandates.
For regulated roles such as EMTs and healthcare providers in Tennessee, hands-on skills evaluations through classroom or blended training are required. 100% online CPR is available only at the employer's or institution's discretion and is not accepted by the state licensing department or for EMS continuing education credits.
We offer AHA blended learning HeartCode online courses, CPR, First Aid, BLS, ACLS, and PALS, combined with a brief 30‑minute, in-person, hands-on skills check using a Voice Assisted Manikin (VAM). These advanced manikins guide you through each step of the skills check, helping ensure you are confident and proficient in life-saving techniques.
Yes, you are protected if you perform good faith emergency care like CPR without negligence under the Tennessee Good Samaritan law. The protection applies to both trained rescuers and lay bystanders in many situations.
Your CPR certification in Tennessee is typically valid for two years from the issue date and is aligned with American Heart Association guidelines widely used statewide. After two years, you will need to renew it by completing a hands-on skill test before expiration to maintain compliance for roles like EMS providers, nurses, and school staff.
