Skills Verification Using Real-Time Feedback Technology
BLS Training in Garfield Heights for healthcare professionals requiring Basic Life Support certification through the American Heart Association
Healthcare workers in Garfield Heights who need Basic Life Support certification complete the required American Heart Association online course before attending a hands-on skills session at Healthcorp Verification Stations. The training uses RQI automated manikin stations that measure compression depth, rate, and recoil during practice, providing immediate feedback so you can adjust your technique before final assessment. Students who have not yet enrolled in the online course can text Healthcorp Verification Stations for assistance with registration and scheduling.
BLS training differs from standard CPR because it includes advanced airway management, team-based resuscitation scenarios, and the use of bag-valve masks and automated external defibrillators. The online portion covers these protocols in detail, while the in-person session requires you to demonstrate proficiency using the RQI manikin, which tracks every compression and breath you deliver. The system will not advance you to certification until your performance consistently meets American Heart Association benchmarks for depth, rate, and hand placement.
Confirm your skills session appointment after finishing the online coursework to complete your certification requirements.
The American Heart Association online BLS course must be completed before you attend the scheduled skills session, and the coursework typically takes three to four hours depending on your familiarity with emergency response protocols. The online module includes video demonstrations of proper compression technique, airway management, and team coordination during cardiac arrest scenarios. Once you complete the course, you schedule your hands-on assessment at the RQI station.
During the skills session, you demonstrate chest compressions, rescue breathing, and AED use while the automated manikin records your performance. The system displays real-time metrics on a screen, showing whether your compressions are deep enough, fast enough, and whether you are allowing full chest recoil between compressions. If your technique does not meet standards, the system provides corrective feedback and allows you to repeat the skill until proficiency is achieved.
After you pass all required skills, you receive an official American Heart Association BLS eCard that is recognized by hospitals, clinics, and licensing boards. The eCard is delivered electronically and includes your certification number and expiration date, which is two years from the date of issue.
