AHA BLS for Healthcare Providers and CPR + First Aid certification designed for clinical audiologists, AuD students in rotations, cochlear implant specialists, and hearing aid dispensers. Same-day cards, hospital protocol training, and scheduling that works around clinic hours.
Different audiology roles require different certifications. Find the right AHA course for your specific position and clinical setting.
AuD and CCC-A audiologists performing diagnostic hearing evaluations, balance testing, and vestibular assessments in ENT clinics and audiology practices. Illinois requires current CPR for clinical staff in hospital-based audiology departments.
Pediatric audiology specialists working with infants and children during hearing screenings, ABR testing, and cochlear implant evaluations. BLS certification is essential when working with pediatric populations in clinical settings.
Audiologists working in hospital ENT departments, outpatient clinics, and surgical centers where patients may experience vasovagal responses during balance testing or hearing procedures requiring immediate response capability.
Audiologists specializing in cochlear implant programming and mapping working with post-surgical patients who may have complex medical histories and are at higher risk for medical emergencies during appointments.
Doctor of Audiology students in clinical rotations and clinical fellows (CFYs) completing supervised practice hours. Most Illinois AuD programs and clinical placement sites require current BLS certification before patient contact.
Licensed hearing instrument dispensers and audiology technicians fitting hearing aids and assistive listening devices. While not always required, CPR certification demonstrates professional commitment and meets employer liability standards.

Generic CPR classes don't address the specific scenarios audiologists face. We built our training around real audiology practice — vasovagal responses during testing, patient falls in clinical settings, and the unique needs of hearing-impaired patients during emergencies.
Our BLS classes meet the specific requirements of Illinois AuD programs including Northwestern, Rush University, and Salus University clinical placements. No generic training — we cover hospital audiology protocols.
Walk out of class with your AHA BLS or CPR + First Aid certification card in hand. No waiting for mail delivery when your clinical rotation or employer deadline is approaching.
We include real-world scenarios specific to audiology practice: vasovagal response during caloric testing, patient falls in sound booths, and emergency response in outpatient ENT clinic settings.
Classes capped at 12 students for individual mannequin time and instructor feedback. Every audiologist gets hands-on practice until confident in their response skills.
Evening and weekend classes designed for working audiologists who can't take time away from patient schedules during clinic hours. Saturday morning sessions are our most popular option.
AHA certification is accepted by the American Board of Audiology (ABA), American Academy of Audiology (AAA), and all Illinois hospital credentialing departments without exception.
