What is RQI?

The American Heart Association’s Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) program is one of the most effective ways for healthcare professionals to earn and maintain their official AHA BLS, ACLS, and PALS certification cards. RQI uses Voice-Assisted Manikins (VAMs) and short, focused training sessions to help providers build stronger, more consistent CPR skills compared to traditional classroom-only courses.

How RQI Works

1️⃣ Complete the online AHA course at your own pace. Most students finish in just a few hours.
2️⃣ Perform hands-on skills testing using a Voice-Assisted Manikin (VAM), which provides real-time feedback on compression depth, recoil, rate, and ventilation.
3️⃣ Receive your official AHA certification card the same day, right after your skills test.

Why Medical Professionals Choose RQI

  • Offers higher CPR performance accuracy than standard training
  • Provides same-day AHA certification cards
  • Reduces time away from work due to shorter skills sessions
  • Ensures ongoing improvement for hospitals, clinics, and emergency responders
  • Meets all American Heart Association requirements for BLS, ACLS, and PALS

RQI is ideal for nurses, doctors, EMTs, paramedics, medical students, and anyone who needs AHA certification for employment or licensure.
