This article explains how Self-Guided Learning courses work, what each course covers, and how to complete your American Heart Association Course Completion eCard at the Brentwood location.
Self-Guided Learning™ is an American Heart Association course format that combines two independent components:
Learners complete both components independently. Upon successful completion of both, they receive an American Heart Association Course Completion eCard for BLS, ACLS, or PALS. The eCard is valid for two years and accepted at hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities nationwide.
This format differs from classroom learning, where an instructor leads both the cognitive and skills components in person. It also differs from blended learning, which pairs online cognitive content with an instructor-led skills check. Self-Guided Learning removes the instructor from both components, giving learners full control over their schedule.
The course used for this format is HeartCode® Complete — an American Heart Association Self-Guided Learning course for BLS, ACLS, and PALS.
HeartCode® is a trademark of the American Heart Association.
The online portion of a Self-Guided Learning course uses True Adaptive™ learning powered by Area9 Lyceum. This technology continuously assesses each learner’s knowledge and confidence, then adjusts the content path in real time.
Learners spend more time on topics they haven’t mastered and move quickly through content they already understand. The result is a personalized, competency-focused learning experience that does not waste time on material a learner already knows.
Key facts about the online component:
The online learning activity must be completed before scheduling the self-guided skills session at the CPR Verification Station learning center.
The CPR Verification Station™ learning center at Safety Training Seminars in Brentwood allows learners to complete the hands-on skills session independently, using a Voice Assisted Manikin (VAM).
During the self-guided skills session, the learner:
There is no live instructor, virtual coach, or facilitator present during the skills session. The CPR Verification Station learning center provides objective measurement against AHA guidelines throughout.
BLS skills sessions take approximately 30 minutes. ACLS and PALS skills sessions also run approximately 30 minutes each for the HeartCode® Complete format.
Upon successful completion of both the online learning activity and the self-guided skills session, the learner receives their American Heart Association Course Completion eCard the same day.

All three courses follow current American Heart Association 2025 guidelines. Price matching is available at the Brentwood location.

EXCELLENT Based on 255 reviews Posted on Stephen Owens-WongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time doing the VAM. It was super quick and super easy. Will come back to do the VAM.Posted on luo jojoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. That was a great experience. But I like in-person class instead an online class. If there an opportunity of in-person class exists or the system ruling changes, that would be great 👍. So, healthcare providers will have a second choice to choose what method they like to continue education and renewal BLS.Posted on gaby melenaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing experience! I loved that I was able to practice prior to testing and they had multiple equipment if one wasn’t to your liking. Will definitely recommend!Posted on Salvador PatinoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clean office. Clear directions before the class. Overall really happyPosted on Lety RuizTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a fantastic experience with Safety Training Seminars obtaining my ACLS certification, as the instruction was clear and concise, making it easy to understand and apply lifesaving techniques. The instructions to acces site were clear and direct. Loved the realtime feedback on mannequinPosted on Sheena KatariaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took my ACLS/BLS. Straightforward and easy to follow directions.Posted on Eden ZTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was skeptical at first since this was my first time doing a skills check with no live-person there; however, I now prefer classes in this format. I feel more confident in my skills since the manikin coaches you on how deep or fast you're going and the program provides tips on how to improve. Gave a one-star because of its location and difficulty finding it but other than that, I highly recommend STS and will be using their services again!Posted on AkonyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A very close and convenient spot to do class. The instructor was very informative, friendly and helpful! The material was easy to understand and all materials were provided to learn and practice the skills. The remote learning from the laptop was easy to navigate. The length of the class was succinct and very engaging.
