If you’re a Century College student who needs BLS CPR certification for your program, In-Pulse CPR offers convenient American Heart Association BLS Provider classes throughout the Twin Cities.

Century College specifically lists American Heart Association BLS Provider certification for its nursing program, and BLS certification is also required in several other healthcare programs.

Which CPR Class Should Century College Students Take?

If your Century College program requires BLS certification, register for our:

American Heart Association BLS Provider Class

This is the healthcare-level CPR certification commonly required for nursing and other clinical programs.

The class includes hands-on training in:

• Adult, child, and infant CPR

• AED use

• Choking response

• High-quality chest compressions

• Rescue breathing

• Two-rescuer CPR

• Team-based BLS skills

After successfully completing the course, you’ll receive an American Heart Association BLS Provider eCard, typically valid for two years.

Century College Nursing Students: Century College currently specifies American Heart Association BLS Provider certification and notes that Red Cross certification is not accepted for the nursing program.

Does This Meet Century College Nursing Requirements?

Century College’s current nursing program information specifically identifies American Heart Association BLS Provider certification as the required CPR credential.

Because individual program and clinical-site requirements can change, students should always follow the most recent instructions provided by Century College.

Other Century College Programs Requiring BLS

BLS certification isn’t limited to nursing students.

Century College’s Medical Assistant program requires CPR certification at the BLS healthcare-professional level by the end of the first semester.

Century’s Emergency Medical Technician program also requires a BLS for Healthcare Provider CPR card before completion of the EMT course.

Students in other Century College healthcare programs should check their specific program requirements before registering.

Is This an In-Person BLS Class?

Yes.

Our traditional BLS classes are instructor-led and completed in person, including the hands-on skills practice and evaluation.

If you prefer a traditional classroom experience rather than completing part of your training online, this is a good option.

When Will I Receive My BLS Card?

Most students receive their American Heart Association BLS Provider eCard the same day or by the next business day after successfully completing class.

Your AHA BLS Provider certification is generally valid for two years.

What Should I Bring?

Bring a valid photo ID and wear comfortable clothing because you’ll be practicing CPR skills on manikins.

Previous CPR experience is not required.
